Hi,

Does anyone recognise the maker of this tablespoon?







Only mark is 'UJ'. 8 1/2" (21.5cm) in length with a large semi-circular drop to the bowl.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I just wondered if there are any thoughts on this one?

Trev.

There is a UI in Sønderborg. Southern Jutland - Germany 1864 to 1920. But Danish before 1864. Danish tradition in this area could very well one masters mark.
However the mark is UI - I and not J.
I and J is though often used randomly.

The UI is Ulrik Johannsen born 1816 citienship 18/11 1843 he Works in Germany and Austria - he is married 1847 and he dies 1912.

His mark is UI or JOHANNSEN or UJ or U.JOHANNSEN I dont know - but he could be a possibility. Even though I would expect the spoon to be a bit older.

Hi Trev,
of little or no help to you{!} - I believe the same mark was noted on a pair of Old English pattern sugar tongs and catalogued as 'unascribed but probably colonial circa 1800'.
Best wishes, Jo.

Thank you both for your thoughts. They are very much appreciated.

Regards, Trev.
