Are you looking for a special piece of Frisian small silver from the 19th century?
This beautiful antique silver tea caddy spoon is a collector's item. The spoon stands out due to its gracefully engraved floral details in the wavy bowl and the elegantly worked, wide handle with fine stippling and engraving. The object is in excellent condition.

The maker of this refined piece of silversmithing is the renowned Frisian gold and silversmith Jan Schijfsma. He was active in Woudsend and later in Sneek in the third quarter of the 19th century.
