It's the brandmark of F.W. Quist, Esslingen/Neckar for products in silver.
Kind regards, Silverport

Yes Thanks - but you are to late - this mark is now in the Encyclopedia since half a year

I liked to see the object’s photo before I had post my last remark; but there wasn’t any photo available from maybe Bauhaus style object.

In my collection I’ve a silver bowl made by Quist — but in an «Art Déco» style; and same marks.

I tend to say — without could see a photo just now — that the object could be in an equal «Art Déco» style.

Quist started with plated products — later they produced also products in silver. But never had I seen until yet the same or equal product made in both materials (silver and plated). It seems to me that there was a strict division between these two different product lines.

In Esslingen itself the town’s museum is an enthusiastic collector of all kind of Esslingen products.
