Hello, if this mark actually reads „Sommé”, then it is Gebrüder Sommé from Breslau. Founded by Samuel Jacques Sommé (b. 1768 - d. 1823), active in Breslau since 1794. The family ran the business until they had to leave Breslau in 1945. They moved it to the city of Essen in western Germany and worked there until closure in 1997. Sommé is not necessarily the maker, he just may be the retailer of this piece. Best wishes, Bahner
