Dutch Tea Coffee Set
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2011 9:21 am
Hello, I'm new to the forum and I think I've come across a bit of a gem here, although I'm looking for some confirmation.
I don't have much experience with Dutch silver, but from a bit of research I think I can name ID most of the marks, but I'm not entirely sure of what they all mean.
Anyway, this is the set, Coffee Pot, Teapot (with removable straining section), Burner, Milk Jug, Sugar Bowl and, I believe, Match Holder.
All the pieces are a bit randomly marked, as I think I should now expect from Dutch silver, but all seem to have these marks on the base.
Now from the great maker marks database on zilver.nl I found a maker who used ZZ with a hammer, E. Schoorl / G. Schoorl-Peetoom Zaanlandse Zilversmederij, but there was no image available to confirm this. Also there is the the Lion Passant for .833.
Next there is the Minerva head with an A, this features less regularly on the pieces, (or so I've found) and I believe the A is Amsterdam.
And finally the mark that is troubling me the most. Is this the date stamp for 1852? The other option is 1928 and I just cant see this as an Art Deco piece.
Any help verifying/correcting/helping! is much appreciated and I thank you in advance.
