Christoff Kremer (fl. 1596-1920) was one of three silversmiths in Nuremberg with similar CK maker's marks. His working dates make an attribution to him most likely.

He was a known maker of 'pineapple' cups or Traubenpokals, one of which is illustrated in Tebbe, K., Nürnberger Goldschmiedekunst 1541-1868: Band 1, Teil 2, p.869. The author notes that his cups are notable by their shallow lobes.
