AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A typical foldable sugar- or candied-sugar table from Friesland (the Netherlands) dating from around 1750.

Foldable sugar- or candied-sugar tables were very popular in Friesland in the mid-18th century (c. 1730–1760), particularly in Sneek.

Characteristic is the oval hinged leaf on a hollow cylinder (for a candle?) on a tripod. They were used as a showpiece for presenting bridal sugars and candied sugar.
The silver content of such sugar tables was typically 2nd fineness (.835).

It was common at the time to have such a table only assayed with a master mark. This sugar table is assayed with the master mark of an unidentified silversmith.

Leaf dimensions: 13.5 x 11 cm, height: 8 cm, height with the folded-out tray: 15.5 cm
Weight: 97 grams
