Hello everyone

I bought today a very nice cream lalde ("louche à crème" in French).

It has a very refined, elagant, shape.

It is hallmarked with the lion passant for .833 silver, garantied in Utrecht ("B" in the helmet), date letter "P" for 1925 ; please tell me if I am mistaken !

Image


Can you please tell me who the maker is ? it looks like a VK in a big C

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Hi François,

The P is the 1950 P.
Still looking for the makers mark.

The makersmark is that of Gerritsen en Van Kempen NV, Zeist (The Netherlands). Used between 1924-1961.

Took me a while till I realised the C should read G.

You are correct on the essay office and the 833.
