Are you looking for a unique and elegant piece of Dutch table silver for your collection?
This beautiful antique silver fruit spoon (also perfect for use as a sugar spoon or olive spoon) combines refined craftsmanship with the rich history of one of the Netherlands' most famous silver cities.
This high-quality silver scoop was made in 1919 by the renowned firm A.J. Driesen and is in magnificent, authentic condition. A valuable addition to a festively set table or a unique gift for the true collector of high-quality silver.

The firm A.J. Driesen is an established and respected name in Dutch silver history. The Driesen family boasted generations of skilled master silversmiths who were primarily active in the silver city of Schoonhoven and in Utrecht. At the time, the firm was known for producing high-quality and extremely elegant small silver items and serving pieces, such as teaspoons, sugar scoops, and these refined fruit spoons.
This specific maker's mark (AJ over D with lateral stars) was used by the workshop during its early 20th-century heyday, making this 1919 example a beautifully tangible piece of Dutch craft history.
The spoon immediately stands out due to its hand-pierced and finely perforated bowl. This allows excess juice or moisture to drain effortlessly, making the spoon ideal for serving wet fruit, morello cherries, or olives. The slender handle is elegantly twisted and flows into a beautifully detailed handle in the shape of a finely engraved leaf design.
The silver hallmarks on this collectible item are exceptionally sharp and clearly struck, guaranteeing its authenticity at a glance:
  • Maker's Mark: The official factory mark AJ over D with two lateral stars in a square from the firm A.J. Driesen
  • Fineness Mark: The walking lion with a 2 (guaranteed 2nd grade Dutch silver, 835/1000).
  • Assay Office Mark: The Minerva head with the letter B, the assay office of Utrecht.
  • Date Letter: The elegant letter J, which precisely stands for the production year 1919.
