What does the “GEORG JENSEN inside an oval of raised dots, often a second dotted oval reading COPENHAGEN, and G.I. over 830 S in a dotted oval” mark mean?

From 1915 Jensen struck his name inside an oval made of raised dots. Many pieces add a second dotted oval reading COPENHAGEN and a third small oval with G.I. above 830 and S, the Danish silver standard. The firm made 830 silver as its normal grade until about 1927, then moved to sterling, so a 925S or STERLING stamp from these years usually points to a later piece or a special order for America. Look for raised dots and letters. The postwar mark looks similar but its letters are sunk into the metal.
