Are you looking for a distinctive spoon from the history of Frisian silver?
This magnificent antique silver commemorative spoon is a fantastic example of high-quality casting and modelling from Leeuwarden. Crafted by the renowned silversmith Rinze Wieger Kijlstra, this spoon stands out for its naturalistic symbolism and dynamism.

This commemorative spoon (birth spoon) differs beautifully from standard models thanks to its three-dimensional design:
  • The crowning glory: The spoon is crowned by a very lively and detailed cast horse with saddle, which stands powerfully on the handle.
  • The handle: The upper part of the handle is masterfully shaped as a foliated tree trunk with a central floral motif. This transitions downwards into a sleek, openwork twisted braid (openwork handle), which gives the spoon a light and elegant dynamism.
  • The bowl: A sleek, smooth egg-shaped bowl that has remained completely blank (no inscription, which offers the buyer the unique opportunity to have a name or date engraved here themselves.
The spoon is provided with clear, pure-struck Dutch national hallmarks at crucial points (see macro photos):
  • Master mark: RK with a star and handle in a square – R.W. Kijlstra (Leeuwarden, active 1896-1943).
  • Year letter: O (for the year 1924).
  • Fineness mark: Running lion with a '2' (Second silver fineness, .833). Struck in the bowl.
  • Warranty mark: Minerva head (Warranty Office Leeuwarden). 
  • Dimensions: Length 19.0 cm (190 mm).
  • Weight: 52.0 grams (solid, heavy quality).

The spoon is in excellent, authentic condition with a bright shine. The detailed casting of the horse has remained sharp and shows no breaks or weaknesses anywhere.  A beautiful collector's item or a monumental birth gift for a horse lover.
