AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Heavy silver-plated serving spoons.
Master mark (top): The letters DE under a crown stand for Dirk van de Goorberg.
City mark (2x): The stork with the snake/eel in its beak confirms that he worked in The Hague.
Date letter: The crowned letter T confirms that this spoon was specifically assayed in the assay year 1781.
Bottom stamp: The bottom, somewhat plainer mark (the inverted 'chair' or rectangle) is a re-assay or tax stamp that was added later (in the 19th century) when the silver was rechecked or taxed.
