Hallo everybody,

I have a question about the Hallmarks of a dutch sugar bowl (kandijbakje?).I see the Amsterdam Hallmark, a yearletter G, the makers Mark AVDS ? and the lion rampant for .934 silver. I found this very similar one at

(admin edit - see Posting Requirements )

Now I'm not sure if the Hallmarks on my sugar bowl are also 18. century or are they later Pseudo Marks ?
Can anybody help me with that?

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your question cannot be answered without the required images. The below should help you:

Finally:

Genuine (hall)marks for silver made in Amsterdam before 1807

From left to right:
Maker’s mark AVDS in an oval, Lion rampant; silverware of 1st standard was stamped with the province Coat of Arms of Holland; the lion rampant facing left in a crowned shield; that served as a fineness mark (934). The three Andreas crosses, up sight down, the city guild mark of Amsterdam, and the date letter G. The assayers mark (zig zag) to determine the correct fineness has been partly rubbed out.

For the hallmarks see:

Your item is made in Amsterdam, date letter G for 1741 and the maker's mark AVDS for: Andries van der Schoor, registered in Amsterdam from 1736-1743.
