A beautiful, large, and finely decorated silver ornamental spoon, crafted in 1976 by the renowned Zaanlandse Zilversmederij (active in Amsterdam and Haarlem).
This spoon is executed in the beloved historical Frisian-Dutch Baroque style and makes a splendid ornament for a display cabinet or a valuable addition to a collection of commemorative silver.

The spoon is immediately striking due to the beautifully cast and openwork finial at the end of the stem: an elegant, striding horse with refined details in the mane and halter. The horse stands on a characteristic, kidney-shaped base.
The stem is executed in a classic twisted braid design (twisted stem) and flows via a gracefully cast mask head / cherub into a generous, mirror-polished, egg-shaped spoon bowl.

This piece is excellently and clearly hallmarked with the official Dutch silver marks, which are perfectly documented in the detail photos:
  • Maker's mark: A hammer between the letters ZZ in a diamond, the official mark of the Zaanlandse Zilversmederij (used between 1920 and 1990).
  • Fineness mark: Walking lion with a 2 in a hexagon (for 2nd grade silver, .833).
  • Assay office mark: Minerva head with the office letter A (Amsterdam).
  • Date letter: The clear lowercase letter q in a circle, which corresponds exactly to the production year 1976.
  • Model number: The back of the horse's base features the stamped year 1781 and a small re-assay mark (sword).
