Well, I know what it is, anyhow. Those were and are used for silver service. If you can't learn the trick of using two separate spoons, you use...
Made about two days ago. ;) Pseudo mark, possibly Asian, could be elsewhere.
I think it's British, not European - that figure 1 is wrong for European. A bit earlier: mid 19th C.
I agree with af and Davey - I've all sorts of bits with PAT PENDING on them, and in most cases they say MADE IN ENGLAND as well. Any photo of...
Val St Lambert is almost invariably marked, and this doesn't look typical for them. I'd agree with the thinking of relatively recent Eastern European.
Older, I'd think. Could be Bohemian, but let me have a think.
There was a lot of this style done jusr after WW2 in Italy as souvenir pieces and also items of "luxury" for the home market - bit like how some...
I blow kisses at pearls! ;) bercrystal, I'm sure these are familiar, so I'll try and engage brain.

Not big enough for claret.
af, I've a modern silver Comyns owl which is marked as filled and also marked as silver. I think it's the same technique as the older Edwardian...
It costs very little to use sterling findings and means you can sell them as hypo allergenic.
Not sure it's fantasy: it's very reminiscent of ancient figurines, and I think may be a "copy" for want of a better word. It's ringing bells, and...
Isn't it just. The silver has the most wonderful softness to it.
Ah, OK. I've seen them here like that of about that age, but your makers may vary. ;)
No photo, but I nabbed a rather nice spoon yesterday. London hallmark for 1799, weighs about an ounce. Cost the equivalent of five dollars.
One of the reasons I think 40s is that heart shape cut out. Absolutely typical.
