    Good evening
    Found this pewter spoon at the market this morning. Trying to figure out age and maker. I think it could be Dutch or German. Any help will be welcome.
    Groete

    I'm no expert, but I'd be thinking English. That's a crowned rose mark. Beyond that I'll leave it to the pewter people.

    I see maybe R&N on the crown?

    Me too, but I don't know enough about pewter marks to know who it was.

    Dutch imo. The drop shape of the bowl usually means ca 1550-1700, so before the Brits came along in SA.
    Rose marks are recognized Dutch marks, but based on the London rose mark, due to the strong ties between the House of Nassau and the Stuarts.
    From ca 1650 until ca 1850 the double rose mark was a Dutch quality mark for tin, "roosjestin" or "roostin". The crowned double rose was introduced a bit later, so I think your spoon could date from between 1650-1700.
    The initials inside the crown are the maker's initials.

    Jannie, I'm sure you can make sense of Dutch, here is some info on Dutch tin marks:
