If this were English, I'd have no hesitation in calliing it a toddy ladle, but I'm not sure of it's popularity in Sweden.
Anyway, it's 15cm long and has four marks:

One is, I believe, the Swedish three crowns.
An S in a hexagon.
Gohr
830S

Can anyone tell me more about it?

Miles

Hi Miles,
Swedish import marks, made by Carl Cohr of Denmark.

I can supply a little.
The 3 crowns is called katfott. Katfott is swedish for "cats paw" due to the similarity.
Katfott is followed by an S if its silver (today).

And for COHR a very large producer of danish silver and silver plate

Thankyou both very much; do you know what the item is for Hose_dk?
Also, can you narrow the date down? Cohr worked from 1949-1987.

Miles

Hi Miles,
Cohr has been in business since 1860 and your piece would date from around that time. see -> http://www.cohrsilver.dk/cohr/index.htm

Regards, Tom

If it dates to the 1860s then surely the maker must be Ditlev Madsen Cohr, since the website you link says Carl Cohr started in 1883.

Miles,
Indeed it does, I stand corrected. Thanks for catching that.
Regards, Tom

I dont know what it is used for. 15 cm you say. I have one 20 cm it is for sauce.
I also have one for punch it is 35 cm.
The 2 that I have are more "clean" at the cup - not all the ????

So I soppose that your is ment for cream.

I went through some old undated (about or before 1900 ??) Cohr photos today, and found one showing this ladle next to a tea strainer with the same kind of handle.

Interesting; could it then perhaps be a small cream ladle for tea?
