Hello. Can anyone help identify the workshop and years of work? I understand that it is Sweden.

Hi Nata37,

your „spoon“ for a cosy tea-celebration is from Sweden.
National mark: three crowns (cattfot)
Town mark: St. Erik/King Erik – Stockholm
Date mark ? I 5 = 1863 ?

Take a magnifying glass and look closely.
You can find out the exact year on the main website of www.925-1000.com – world marks.
This picture no. 804 shows St. Eric (1700-1850)
My problem is the date, which is difficult to define.
I am sure the real experts will answer soon.

The maker's punch shows C.A.L that is Carl August Liedberg in Stockholm 1862-1880. Yes, the year mark is a smudge. However, in my eyes it shows J(I)5 that is as you wrote 1863. It fits well the working period. His widow Carolina Catharina continued with the business to 1889. Next time please clean the marks before showing them.
If you don't know what it is I can tell you that it is called "tespindel" meaning teaspider, a kind of a sifter for tea.
