Dutch silver plate and delft handles

Silver plate, Dutch, and I guess just tourist pieces, but I'd be interested in why the shapes are as they are, if that makes sense.

@Any Jewelry ? Or anyone else, please?

 

The big flat one is a cake server (is that the term?), the other ones are sugar scoops. I'm not sure if that's what you asked?

 

That's exactly what I meant, thank you muchly.

 

The "big flat one" is also sometimes called a cake or pie "wedge."

 

Remind me, does "90" always indicate silverplate?

 

On those Dutch marks, it does seem to.

 

A lot of Euro stuff uses 90 as a silverplate mark. Real silver gets three numbers.

 

yes. it's IAW the German plating scale. a bit above the 80 that WMF uses.
meaning 90 grams of pure silver on an area of 24 dm². corresponding to 12 spoons and 12 forks.

 

Thanks Fid!

 

not always. 100, 110 and 120 are also found IAW the German silverplate system; most 110 and 120 are sparse and most often found in South America used by companies that were founded by Central European immigrants - most probably silver was cheaper than in Europe so they gave it a thicker layer.

 

I've never seen those marks, but then we don't get South American silverplate.
