Hi, thanks for looking, this is an early 13 silver (.813) serving piece, I was wondering first when it is from, then about the maker Ronneberg, then what the peice might be called (fish server, etc).

Hi,

Your fish server was made by Johan Herman Krohn Rønneberg (1818-95) in Ålesund, Norway.

Johan Rønneberg became a prolific master in Ålesund in 1847, after he had been a journeyman in the Norwegian town Bergen by his relatives, the Krohns - a goldsmith family and later by Monclair's in the same town. He even was in Hamburg. He was a skilled engraver and silver chaser.
He produced a lot of good silver objects, but in 1875 he retired and then on he was titulated as gold- and silver worker". He died in 1895.

The server with an example of rocker engraving or wrigglework was made between 1847 and 1892, when the 830S standard was introduced.
