Spoelstra of Groningen and fitted with its original deep cobalt blue glass liner. This elegant 2-piece centerpiece combines refined Dutch silversmithing with French neoclassical influence, making it a beautiful decorative object for a dining table, console, mantel, or collector’s display.
The silver frame is richly decorated with Louis XVI-inspired garland swags, scrolling ornamentation, floral reliefs, and finely worked repoussé details. Resting on four gracefully formed legs, the jardiniere has a balanced, symmetrical silhouette that reflects the elegance and restraint of neoclassical design.
Its original cobalt blue glass liner creates a striking contrast against the silver frame. The deep blue glass enhances the visual richness of the piece and makes it ideal for use as a flower holder, fruit bowl, centerpiece, or decorative accent. The combination of polished silver, sculptural detailing, and jewel-toned glass gives this jardiniere a refined and luxurious presence.
The piece is fully hallmarked with Dutch silver marks, including the Lion Passant with “2” for .835 silver purity, the Dutch control letter “H,” and the maker’s mark “PS” with hammer for P. Spoelstra of Groningen.
