The decoration of the handles is derived from the Meissen Möllendorf service designed under the direction of Frederick the Great in 1761 when Prussia was subduing Saxony. It was itself based on Saxon court services and therefore politcally charged. It takes its name from General Wichard von Möllendorf, to whom Frederick the Great gave the original service.

Daniel Baudesson, supplier to Frederick the Great, does not have a maker's mark recorded by Wolfgang  Scheffler in Berliner Goldschmiede, Berlin, 1968. For an example of his mark on a gold box see: Charles Truman, The Gilbert Collection of Gold Boxes, vol.I, Los Angeles, 1991, no. 77, p.228, where it would appear to be identical with the maker's mark on this silver
