Catalogue Note
This mark is attributed to Gottlieb Schuch, born 1701, master in 1732, and died in 1748, in Helmut Seling, Die Augsburger Gold-und Silberschmiede 1529-1868, 2007, no. 2242. Since the date of the salver is after his death, there is little doubt that the maker is Gottlieb Satzger, who is known for his boxes and made many toilet services.
