Hello, I have this silver two-piece tea set made by Josef Carl von Klinkosch in the second half of 19th cenruty. Any ideas who this crest might have belonged to? Thank you in advance.
Can anyone help with crest?

That could be the coat of arms of Swedish family von Rosen. The crown is that of a Swedish count and von Rosen family hold that title. Their coat of arms is three red roses on a golden shield. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Rosen_(adels%C3%A4tt)
In this case the shield is gold (or) because it's "dotted" but I can't see any hatching on the roses so I can't say their colour for sure. If you can see any horizontal or any other lines on them this could help to determine the colour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatching_(heraldry)
There are also other possibilities if the roses are red and even more if they are some other colour: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cate ... oses_gules

Hi,
It is rather common family name in many countries.Lowest nobility (Freiherr) with origins in Pomerania (Vorpommern).
Your silver was made in Vienna,therefore most likely owned by members of Rosen family in either austria or Germany.
Regards

(Rosen is the name of an old German-Baltic aristocratic family that comes from the Livonian nobility. Branches of the family live mainly in Germany, Sweden, France, Austria, Poland, the USA, Canada, Brazil and Australia).Rosen ist der Name eines alten deutsch-baltischen Adelsgeschlechts, das dem livländischen Uradel entstammt. Zweige der Familie leben heute vor allem in Deutschland, Schweden, Frankreich, Österreich, Polen, USA, Kanada, Brasilien und Australien.

Thank you both a lot for your such a big research. What I forgot to mention, is that this set was bought in Stockholm. So I do agree that this might be Swedish Rosen family crest.
