<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 51331, member: 44&quot;]I may have found the answer to these marks. Mine you, I&#039;m sayin **may have.** I found a web page titled &quot;The History of CESA.&quot; It seems this CESA stands for the Catering Equipment Suppliers Association. I can&#039;t read the whole history because you have to be a member of something - need a login. There are related articles on the page. Info on one of the articles implies WMF made/supplied CESA with such items as glassware, etc. Title and summary of the WMF article:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<a href="http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/product-reviews/99712218/new-products" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/product-reviews/99712218/new-products" rel="nofollow">New Products.</a> // Caterer &amp; Hotelkeeper;11/28/2014, Vol. 204 Issue 4853, p54&nbsp;&nbsp; The article offers brief information on several products for the catering and hospitality industry including the WMF Divine glassware from WMF, the Polar Back Bar Chillers from Nisbets, and the V100 commercial ice crusher from Metcalfe Catering.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/92547090/history-cesa" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/92547090/history-cesa" rel="nofollow">http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/92547090/history-cesa</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If this is the association then the CESA mark is for that company. I don&#039;t believe this strainer is silver in any form. As Bake has said, Alemenia is Germany in Spanish. It stands for Made in Germany. As your strainer does not appear to have any of the many WMF marks, it wasn&#039;t made by that company. I suspect these were utilitarian items used/sold by CESA. Because they both have CESA on them does not mean they are a set, belong together. It only means they were bought from the same catering supply company. As Germany is written in Spanish, these items were probably exported from Germany to a Spanish speaking.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
