Mexican Teapot Spratling Design?

Re: 17th Century German(?) Chalice

Thanks to both posters for the information and leads. A covered bowl on three legs does make more sense than a chalice of this design. Early 18th century seems accurate. No matter, it's an old and fascinating relic.

Re: Very Old Spoon?

There is a maker's mark of P.H. and I've never found a similar mark. Especially since
initials are so common. Any guesses as to age,from the bowl attachment?

Very Old Spoon?

I have never been able to find anything related to this old teaspoon.
The handle soldered to the bowl makes me think this is 17 or 18th century American
