This original Frisian silver brandy cup from 1736 is a masterful example of eighteenth-century silversmithing and an absolute gem for connoisseurs and collectors.

The cup features a magnificent chased decoration of baroque scrollwork, leaf motifs and characteristic openwork side handles (ears) with refined cast detailing. The original owners' initials R.A. and J.S. are delicately engraved on the smooth upper rim. Historical weight or inventory marks are also scratched into the silver on the inside of the foot, further accentuating its historical character.

This exceptional piece was crafted by the renowned Sneek silversmith Wieger Cornelisz Schreuder (active from 1719 to 1744). Schreuder was a prominent citizen; he served as an alderman in 1724 and as a magistrate in 1728.
What makes his preserved oeuvre particularly remarkable is that he worked for years with a very blunt and worn hallmark. As a result, the master mark (the flower bud) is stamped onto the cup with a charmingly authentic 'carelessness'. This recognizable imperfection, combined with the clear city mark of Sneek and the year letter A, guarantees its authenticity and tells the unique story of the craftsman.
