Just popping in to agree with Bear on the form of tea infuser spoons, and adding that these strainer openings are way too large anyway, especially...
As said, typically baleen, but have also seen ivory, wood, etc. - not a huge problem, a good woodworker could lathe-turn a nice replacement......
This is my much simpler early 19th century Scottish Provincial toddy ladle, but the OP's piece shown likely had a similar twisted baleen handle:...
Your images don't show the end of the handle, but it's almost certainly a toddy/punch ladle missing its long slender handle (typically baleen)......
Heh, nothing wrong with calling it a diamond. Terry had already told you it was a plate mark, and Bakersgma told you that the '2' was the number...
There's little in difference in value, unless someone specifically collects Mexican silver, and while there are a number of wonderful Mexican...
Your napkin ring is shown in a 1911 catalog, that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't produced years earlier as well as later. Not sure there...
Not sure why you think it's too large for a napkin ring, that would be a typical size, though I've seen some both smaller and larger, it was...
Have little time, must run some errands before it starts pouring, but here are a few examples... This one ships from India, they have 5 sets of...
The numbers are very unclear - are they scratch-marks? If so, doubtful they were made by the manufacturer... ~Cheryl
I'd think a diya (ceremonial oil lamp) rather an incense burner... ~Cheryl

If it's any help, I have the same Mexican dragonfly brooch somewhere in my stash, and can recall seeing them at retail in the 1980s-90s - were...
No time to look through references right now or even in the near future, and I'm not saying that it is a Hamburg mark, could most definitely be...
Not really sure what issues are being seen on this piece. The hand-wrought bands and hinges are absolutely right and likely original to the chest...
Welcome to the forums - nice piece. Just as a note, if you post your images as 'Full View' to your future posts, it's much easier for others to...
The majority of the holloware pieces are mustard pots rather than salts. My eyes are tired, and the images a bit fuzzy, but most of the salt...

I'm having a hard time making out these marks (other than the '13'), but doubt they are Danish, just don't look right to my eye. 13 loth would be...
Asian marks are difficult for me on a good day, and my eyes are blurry today - could this be your maker (based on Ken's translation)? From Von...
