Description from the seller

Large spoon: 1892, with pearl edge, J.M. van Kempen & Zonen, Voorschoten, Keurkamer of The Hague, C in Minerva cup.\nThis represents a beautiful authentic piece of top quality from the most renowned silver factory the Netherlands has ever known, dating from 1892.\nSugar scoop with the exquisite turtle-shell handle is made by the Frisian silversmiths Schijfsma & Smeding from Leeuwarden between 1906 and 1930. The control mark: a Dutch Small Sword, official hallmark for small silverware.\nUnique Amsterdam spice scoop from 1824 by master Balthasar Agasi (with Frisian history!!)\nThis refined scoop began its journey in Amsterdam. It is hand-forged by the well-known Amsterdam silversmith Balthasar Agasi, active in the early 19th century. His master mark—the letters B and L/A with between them the characteristic pictogram of the Denneboom/Christmas tree—stands clearly struck on the piece. Subsequently the silverware was officially assayed and bearing the year letter P.
