Frisian Sugar table, mystery

[Vantlicht]

This Frisian sugar table is like a mystery for me. It is marked, at least I guess it are marks, but it looks homemade.

Would be nice if you can check this item and see if you recognize something.

Thanks in advance!

The sugar table (miniature), an object of which only several copies were made in Friesland and especially in the city of Sneek in the eighteenth century, has the same shape as a wooden folding table or 'flap aan de wand'. The elaborately worked dish, on which candy sugar or other sweets can be presented in the sunken middle, is decorated with, among other things, chased and chiselled work and shows an shell, leaf tendrils with flowers and a bird in the middle. This dish functions as the top of a table and is hinged to a base, which consists of three curling legs with a smooth tube on top.

The master mark is so badly stamped, probably made for export in the 19th century. What are the sizes and the weight?
