i have never seen this kind of sterling silver objects of porceleyne fles specially in this large size ( 8 inch). The stipper on top has a dutch inscription which points out that this flask was a gift from one frined to another friend. One namse is on top vissable david. The other name i cannor decifer. The tea caddy has remains of black paint a sign this piece was in the second world war kept aside to fool the german occupier who relentlessly did house to house search and looted precious objects. This flask was acquired in germany so big chance is was looted during the period 1940-1945. The serling silver settings is probably made in schoonhoven where always porceleyne fles ordered their silverwork. This is truely a rare piece which wont hit the market easely another time.

yearcode o = 1893 (one medaillion is marked on the inside with this yearcode)

height 20 cm / 8 inch

fair condition, no damages to the delft medaillions but 3 corners of the silver foot have a dent.
