Austrian tea set

I found these two pieces of a tea set .
Image
They carry the hallmark of Vienna, badly struck, in which you can read well the last digit (8), but there is not the one of the tens.
They also carry a mark STM, which perhaps could help to indicate a more precise date.
Image
Can anyone help me to date these pieces ?
I would also like to know if this type of decoration is common in Austrian silver objects.
Thanks
Amena

Hello Amena!
I think, the maker of the teaset is Stephan Mayerhofer.
These are the marks of Stephan Mayerhofer.

And there are the informations about the company from the Neuwirth: Wiener silber.

About the other question. I think, this decoration is not seems uncommon in Austria.
Best regards!

Hi Krisztián
Thank you so much for identification.
Unfortunately, the page with the marks is very small and I can not read the photo caption.
I understand from the article that you have reported, that the mark STM without dot was used from 1832 to 1838, then the teaset should be dated1838.
I understand correctly?
Best

Hello amena!
Sorry, it's my mistake, but I did it again and I hope, it will be ok!

I agree with you, I think, your teaset from 1838.
Best regards!
