Hello Everyone!
This is a small spoon, and I think, in the right side is the control mark for 800 fineness. Someone can verify this and identify the maker?

Hello Amena!
Thank you for the image, and the information! I understand you well, that you suggest that maybe this maker worked in this 2 cities at different time?
Best regards!

No, I have no reason to think that Mr. G.C. has worked in two different cities.
My spoon is bigger and carries the full set of mark. So you can also see the caduceus ( mark of "ufficio di garanzia" of Udine). In your spoon, smaller, there is only the anvil in use throughout all Lombardo-Veneto, and the mark of “ufficio di garanzia” is missing. There is no reason to think that your piece is Venetian instead from Udine

Amena
