I know this post is very out of date, but I think the signature says "Migolle", which is an Italian surname. I can't find a scllptor of that...
Despite being correctly described as silver plated, I notice that the set on Catawiki sold for $125, which seems a lot to me for silver plate!...
That is just how I feel! I usually buy job lots, and try to sell most of the items to at least make the money back, while keeping one or two...
