Are you looking for an extremely elegant and early piece of historical sterling silver for your collection?
This antique silver tea scoop is a fine example of early 19th-century craftsmanship from the renowned Dutch silver city of Schoonhoven.
The object was handcrafted in 1842 and is in excellent condition.
As shown in the image, the scoop has a beautifully sleek, deep egg-shaped bowl. The handle immediately stands out with its unique, geometric Biedermeier design featuring subtle, layered lines along the edges. Thanks to its extremely compact size of only 100 mm and a weight of 7.1 grams, this is a very charming and delicate collector's item, originally intended to perfectly scoop loose tea leaves from a luxurious tea caddy.
The tea scoop was forged by the famous Schoonhoven master silversmith Hendrik van der Ree (active in the first half of the 19th century). Pieces from his early period around 1840 are beloved collector's items due to their minimalist elegance and solid build quality. A beautifully preserved piece of Schoonhoven history that immediately adds atmosphere to any high tea or silver collection.

The tea scoop is clearly and fully marked with the official historical Dutch hallmarks:
  • Walking Lion (2): The legal national hallmark for 2nd grade Dutch silver (.833).
  • Minerva head with the letter M: The official office mark of the assay office in Schoonhoven.
  • Master's mark (VR above 72 in a square): Hendrik van der Ree's early, registered master's mark.
  • Year letter H: Guarantees the early production year 1842.
