Frisian Sugar table, maker?

Post by Vantlicht »

Frisian Sugartable, marked with a makersmark. Looks like Wieger Frerks Mockema from Harlingen, but I am not sure.

To me it looks like the clover mark used by Age Binses Looxma, registered in Sneek, 1720-1759

The sugar table, an object of which only several copies were made in Friesland and especially in Sneek in the eighteenth century, has the same shape as a wooden folding table or 'flap aan de wand'. The elaborately worked dish, on which candy sugar or other sweets can be presented in the sunken middle, is decorated with, among other things, chased and chiselled work and shows an angel's head, leaf tendrils with flowers and a bird in the middle. This dish functions as the top of a table and is hinged to a base, which consists of three curling legs with a smooth tube on top.
