We are proud to present on Zilverwebsite.nl an extremely rare masterpiece of Dutch silversmithing: an original Haarlem silver brandy cup from 1739 (year letter E). This superbly preserved object, with a subtly gilded interior, is an absolute dream for the connoisseur and collector of exclusive antique city silver.
The round cup features a rich, hand-chased Baroque decoration of lush leaves and ornaments. Most striking are the majestic, openwork handles (ears) in the form of the iconic Dutch Lion with crown. The interior of the cup features an original, light fire gilding (verguldsel), which gives the silver a warm, royal glow. The base is beautifully personalized with the historical owner initials S.G.K.H. and M.M.V.B.

This brandy cup is by the hand of the highly regarded Haarlem master silversmith Casper Janszonius (active from 1721 to 1767). Janszonius was an absolute key figure within the guild; between 1749 and 1770 he was several times elected dean and master of the Haarlem silversmiths guild due to his exceptional expertise and reliability. This specific piece is documented as number 359 in the standard work Het Haarlemse zilversmidsgilde by Arno J. Bruitsman.

On the top of the rim is a series of sharp silver marks that make the hearts of collectors beat faster: the master mark CJ (Casper Janszonius), the city mark of Haarlem (the shield with the sword and the four stars), the year letter E for 1739 and the official fineness mark.
