The Little Fish of Visvliet: A Northeast Frisian family on an Ommeland cup

In 2011, traces emerged of a remarkable silver cup from 1664, made by the silversmith Regnerus Andreas Dronrijp from Visvliet. This discovery not only brought to light a beautiful piece of Groningen silverware but also initiated a fascinating genealogical search for a northeast Frisian family whose names are engraved in the silver. Historian Peter de Reijke investigated the story behind this cup and is making an appeal to anyone who knows more about this vanished family.
