Salt cellar made in Dresden 1822

Hello

In »Rosenberg« (R3, vol. 2, p. 25, nr. 1681) is the here shown town mark from Dresden dated as in use in »19. Jahrhundert« (XIX century) - theoretically that could be from 1800 to the cession of the guild.

In »Rosenberg« (R3, vol. 2, p. 26, nr. 1720) is the here shown »Z« mark dated to be 1822.

Maker's mark »LA« is overstruck by the retailer »BEHR« (actually I don't know their identity).

Kind regards silverport
