Hello experts!
Can I ask you on your opinion on this possibly Friesland Brandy Bowl dated back to 1752? I dont know anything about Dutch silver, so any help will be appriciated. Is the dating right, any information on the maker HB and the authenticity? There is no inscription, just found similar date letter online.
Thank you very much, meyrink
