18th century spoon - Utrecht
Hi - would appreciate any help identifying maker and date of this 18th century tablespoon. I think it is for Utrecht and that for some reason the town mark is stamped twice. The date letter looks like a capital K. There is also a crowned o. Could this be a tax mark? The Maker's mark looks like a seated lamb - or possibly a dog. Many thanks Frank

Hi Rat-tail,
City mark of Utrecht stamped twice to indicate 1st standard of silver or ‘grote keur’; the city mark of Utrecht and province mark of Utrecht. Date letter X for 1805.The Crowned O duty mark applied in 1807.
Master mark a laying deer for Sebastian de Maré registered in Utrecht 1777-1809. Born in Workum(Friesland), it is presumed that he followed his education in Utrecht, the town where his family had its origin. His work includes mainly profane silver.
Oel.
Gratitude Janjaap Luijt en Maja Houtman
