Need help identifying this spoon

[Jorgensen]

Well, I know it's a spoon and that's all. Can anyone tell me the country of origin, what type of spoon and who the maker is? Thank you and I apologize for not knowing where to post this.

That is an early type of eating spoon. Renaissance in style. Spoons looked like that in 1500 and beginning of 1600.

I dont know the mark but that is not that old.

The spoon might be danish (illution of being old). The city of Tønder had a vessel in its city mark. That mark was, i many variations, used around 1900 to give items a look of being old. So that is a guess from me (but I think that it is a qualified guess)

Hi,

Agree with Hose_dk, in England this type of spoon with it's spirally fluted finial is known as a Wrythen Knop and if original would have dated from the Fifteenth Century.

Are you sure that this spoon is silver? Perhaps it's my monitor, but it looks more like cast pewter to me, and the rosemark (Tudor rose) has been used in various forms on pewter from England, other European countries, and even occasionally, American pewter since the 16th century.
