Pewter pot with marks, Sweden 1790?

[hegeman]

Hi, I'd like to know more about my old pewter pot. It is about 22 cm (height). There is some marks inside the bottom. MB, some symbol (maybe fish tail with crown?), three crown marks, year mark (maybe H2 = 1790?). There is flower decoration outside of pot and in the lid. And some letters in the middle of the decoration: APD and FMJ. Can someone identify the maker and give some other knowledges? Thank you.

Hi, I think it´s marked U2 for 1802.
I know very little about tinn so I hope some other with more knowledge can help you further.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, it can be U2. It would be nice to see some other pewter thing from this year, and compare the marks. And if someone knows, who is MB, and what is this town mark, let me know I think this pot can be made also in Finland (part of Sweden during this time), because I have found this from here from the flea market (I live near Helsinki).

I agree with you, it´s probably from Finland in my opinion.
I tried to find the master behind MB, but I´m sorry to admit
I have failed so far. The two master stamps with one city do
indicates however that the quality of the tinn is second best
in a three quality scale.

Magnus Bergman Malmö 1794-1809/10
U2 =1802 is correct

According to the engravings of the male and female initials it might be a wedding or engagement tankard
