Teapot on chafing dish
Re: Teapot on chafing dish
Hi Dimitry.
Silver teapot/kettle with stand.
The 3th image; the Dutch Lion passant above 2: standard mark silver .833 fineness (1814-1953) with export key: mark to indicate 2/3 duty restitution upon export valid 1853 till 1953.
The 4th image; the office mark or Minerva head with the regional assay office letter C for The Hague.
The 5th image; the year letter Gothic D for 1888
The 6th image; the maker’s mark VK under a crescent moon for: Kempen & Zonen, or Fa. J.M van Kempen,registered in the city of Voorschoten and this particular mark used 1858-1924
The 7th image; the Dutch sword with export key.The sword (used1814-1905) and 2nd sword mark used 1906-1953. Standard mark for; small work silver minimum 833 fineness= 83.3% pure silver and used on small work without date letter and office mark and in combination with maker's mark. NB. This sword mark also used on large work consisting of more than three parts interconnected by links or hinges. On these objects the office mark, standard mark and date letter were spread, one per part, the remaining parts were struck with the sword mark.
The teapot with stand rests on a base usually having a heating device as a spirit lamp. It has a flat bottom and the stand has three or four feet joined at the bottom by arms that connect with a central ring in which the burner rests. The top of the stand is encircled by a grooved ring to support the teapot. Sometimes the stand is merely to support the teapot without any heating device. It is similar in shape to the tea kettle with stand. Gratitude;silvercollection.it
