Hi
Help needed
Germany I suppose. Who is the maker? And where and under what period was the firm active?

Hi Hjulben,

This is a Norwegian spoon made by Jacob Andreas Mordt in Kristiania/Oslo in 1835 and in 13 1/4 lot silver and that is 828/1000.

Mordt was born in 1795/96, and became a master in 1820. He died in 1854.

Ref: Fossberg, Jorunn (1994) Norske sølvstempler: Gullsmedhåndverk i byene på Østlandet før 1870.

Best regards/JAKJO
