Description from the seller
Elegant three-piece Dutch silver condiment set dating from the early 20th century, executed in the Louis XVI Revival style. The set consists of two open salts and one caster, all retaining their original cobalt blue glass liners.
The pieces bear Dutch silver hallmarks including the Lion Passant 2nd Standard (833 silver), the date letter H for 1917, and the HH maker's mark of the renowned Schoonhoven silver manufacturer H. Hooijkaas.
The set is finely decorated with classical Louis XVI motifs, including garlands, ribbons and pierced details inspired by 18th-century French design. The original cobalt blue glass inserts provide a striking visual contrast and greatly enhance the overall appearance.

Very good antique condition. All elements are firm and stable, with original fittings throughout. One glass liner has a small chip to the rim, mentioned for accuracy and shown in the photographs.
