The maker is Denis Jean Andres Garreau; see this thread for more information: Sugar basket maker
The mark under the warranty mark is the second standard Minerva head in use from 1838, indicating that the piece was resold at some point after that and marked a second time.

Re: French base for spices with bigorne
Interesting it was marked 1st standard (950/1000) when it was made 1817-1834 (DG's working period viewtopic.php?t=56399) and then later remarked 2nd standard (800/1000) during/post 1838.
