DetailsThis turn-of-the century pieces took a little detective work and seriously delight me.
The oval caddy with the detailed bowl:
Crafted by B. Neresheimer and Sohne, this antique sterling silver Hanau-made lovely piece is a highly detailed "repoussé" silver salt, tea or sugar shovel/caddy. From the tip of the handle to the end of the bowl, this sweet piece has been carefully honed. See men (father and son?) traveling together, a windmill carved in the bowl. Rare to find something so very lovely. I love the heft of this sweet piece, too.
Dimensions: 3 5/8 inches x 1 1/4 inches
Weight: 24 grams
Markings: an 'n' in a shield, a pineapple, and an indistinguishable mark. This maker largely crafted 930 silver.
The rectangular caddy with the detailed bowl:
A Dutch-looking German caddy showing a worker carrying pails. Notice the detail on the putti that adorns the handle as well as the depicted conversation between the nobles (and their Dutch clogs!)
Dimensions: 5 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches
Weight: 25 grams
Markings: The German scythe and crown, 800
The caddy with the smooth bowl:
In this, the scene depicts men talking at a table with a younger boy. Don't miss the sweet craftsmanship on both sides. Unfortunately, no maker's marks are given on this unique piece, but we do know the silver content as 830 silver, one of the European standards for sterling silver.
Dimensions: 3 3/4 inches x 1 1/2 inches
Weight: 23 grams
Markings: 830
The Italian caddy with men and a child:
I believe this piece to be Italian, due to the styling with the putti, circa 1900. However, the motif elsewhere is Dutch. That's possible, too...
Dimensions: 3 3/4 long; bowl measures 1 1/2" wide
Weight: 11 grams
Markings: 800 stamped on the inside of the scoop (There are also obscured markings at the upper left of the ornate bowl.
Since these are solid silver, you don't have to worry about the finish wearing off with use. A simple polish removes any accumulating tarnish. (I prefer Hagerty Silversmith's wash with a tarnish preventative. Avoid using silver dips; they'll remove the lovely patina that gathers in the crevices to enhance the detail of these pieces.)
No monograms.
Commensurate with age, the condition is very good to excellent.
