Are you looking for an extremely charming and detailed piece of Dutch miniature silver?

This magnificent silver miniature of a woman at a well is a beautiful example of craftsmanship from the war and reconstruction years. The object was made between 1943 and 1946 by the well-known and highly valued silver factory H. Hooijkaas from Schoonhoven.

The miniature excels in liveliness and detail. On a beautifully crafted, rectangular base plate with a hammered structure, a woman in traditional costume is pulling the water bucket out of the well with a silver cord. The well itself also has a refined hammered finish and features an elegant arch from which the bucket is movably suspended.

The object is excellently hallmarked on the top of the base plate. The hallmarks are clearly visible: the official Dutch sword (the tax mark for .835 silver content) and the master's mark *HH* of the firm H. Hooijkaas.

Weighing 29.3 grams, this is a very solid and sturdy cabinet piece.

A rare and nostalgic addition for the serious collector of antique miniature silver or dollhouse antiques!
