Danish Sterling Silver Sugar Spice Caster Hallmarked 1766 Jorgen Nielsen Lind

Description

Danish Sterling Silver Sugar or Spice Caster Hallmarked 7 7/8” c1766
Presented is a large Rococo chased solid silver spice or sugar caster with Maker’s marks Dated 1766. This is a finely crafted and useful item. The lid with a flower finial attaches with a system usually called Bayonet; a peg that slides into slots. It has no monogram and rest on a pedestal base. This shaker is hallmarked with maker’s mark IL for
Jorgen Nielsen Lind, assayers mark Fabricius and marks for silver made in Denmark 1766 as well as a zodiac mark that indicates the month it was made
. I have added a picture of my research into these marks in the pictures above. Danish silver made in this period is
826 fine silver; American standard sterling silver is 925, so there is slightly less silver in this alloy. It is a well thought through piece and in beautiful condition. Great for everyday use or entertaining.
I have an interesting assortment of items listed so please look at my other auctions.
