Last saturday I went to the bakery. Some bread for breakfast. Passed a shop and in the window I saw
Image
The cup is handmade. I is so heavy 138 gram almost 50% more than beakers like this normally weigh. Master in Danish from Næstved - Daniel Ludvig Draminsky born 1768 - master 30/8 1798 dead 1834. Danish standard is 4 marks master, town, guardein and month. But in a small town no guardein - so we set 3 masters marks. "Almost just as good :-)"

Went to see my nestor in siver. He told me the manufacture was drawn - started with at model and a silverplate up to 7 or 8 cm thich and the driving the silver. And this was wery complicated in english. Did not fully understand it verbally - so explaining in foreign language.... sorry
Image
My nestor sugested that this could very well be his masterpiece - and thereby made in 1798 which correspond with decoration.

Never the less it butiful and I wanted to share.
