Hi - would appreciate any help identifying maker and date of this 18th century tablespoon. I think it is for Utrecht and that for some reason the town mark is stamped twice. The date letter looks like a capital K. There is also a crowned o. Could this be a tax mark? The Maker's mark looks like a seated lamb - or possibly a dog. Many thanks Frank




Maker's mark, closest to the bowl


Two town marks next


Then date letter and the mysterious crowned o

Hi Rat-tail,

City mark of Utrecht stamped twice to indicate 1st standard of silver or ‘grote keur’; the city mark of Utrecht and province mark of Utrecht. Date letter X for 1805.The Crowned O duty mark applied in 1807.
Master mark a laying deer for Sebastian de Maré registered in Utrecht 1777-1809. Born in Workum(Friesland), it is presumed that he followed his education in Utrecht, the town where his family had its origin. His work includes mainly profane silver.
