Een erg zeldzame zilveren serveerlepel gemaakt door de zilversmid Daniel Dendler omstreeks 1800. De adelijke families uit deze regio hadden de traditie om hun initialen te graveren gecombineerd met een kroon. Hoe meer parels de kroon had, des te hoger de rang van de eigenaar. Deze kroon heeft 5 parels, dus dit stuk is afkomstig van de ridderlijke adel. 7 parels is bijvoorbeeld voor een graaf bestemd.
