AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Set of Dutch Silver Cutlery:
Antique Dutch silver tea strainer with a richly decorated rim and handle.
Features of the tea strainer:
• The rim is decorated with typically Old Dutch scenes in relief, including a windmill in a landscape at the top and sailing ships/boats on the sides.
• The stem (crown): The top of the stem is shaped as a water carrier or milkmaid with a yoke and two pails, a very classic motif for traditional Dutch silverware.
• The hallmark:
- This letter 'R' in a circle was used in the Netherlands to approve objects in the year 1927.
- The letter M in the Minerva head officially stands for the assay office in Schoonhoven. Schoonhoven was and is the silver city of the Netherlands, where almost all such tea strainers and souvenir silverware were assayed and made.
• The fineness is .835
