Hi from Sydney Australia!
The mark might be Prussian. I think it is from the city of Liegnitz ( now Legnica in Poland).
Nice sauceboat!
Hi again from Sydney!
I have had another look at these marks and have another suggestion that might make some sense.
The key mark was also used by a firm in Hanau:
B. Neresheimer und Söhne
They were founded in 1893 and became L. Neresheimer & Co in 1904.
Of import is that they exhibited in the US in twoimportant exhibitions:
1893 in Chicago at the World's Columbian exhibition
and in 1904 at the St. Louis International Exhibition.
It seems mark stamping in Hanau was a free for all. They saw themselves as a free trade centre and the town specialized in doing reproductions of "antique silver".
Again I am not sure but it could be helpful to you in your research.
