The mark on the right --> could it be Delheid Frères maker’s mark: D crowned with a serpent, (snake). Sometimes you will find the maker’s mark upside down.

What do you think?

It could be Belgian (the mark on the left has an
A O O and one missing).
I found unregistrated Belgian marks and one of them had an
A O O 8, so the 8 could be the missing one).
The sauce boat could be made by the Wolfers Frères, influenced by "Japonisme" (=The Japanese influence on Western art since 1858’ by Siegfried Wichmann.)
Wolfers Frères = Wolfers was one of the most famous Belgian silversmith companies of the 19th century, its reputation comparable to those of Emile Puiforcat, Odiot or Aucoc in Paris, Garrard in London, and Tiffany or Gorham in America.
In the first half of the 19th century, three young German brothers, silversmiths Edouard, Guillaume and Louis Wolfers established two workshops in Brussels.

I wrote to the silvermuseum in Belgium and the told me it's a sauceboat made by Delheid in Brussels, the second best silvermaker in Belgium.
So, thats it

That's ok, no problem. I have been searching for months, till i came here.
A friend told me about the silver museum in Belgium and when i wrote them, i got more then i hoped for.
Maybe it is a help for other users too.
By the way, fantastic forum!
