[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4495002, member: 2844"]Yes, it is the Hooykaas mark, a well known maker. It is a cutie.:happy: Given the 'Hollandmania' subject, it was probably made shortly after the last HH mark was introduced.

Traditionally the Dutch drink coffee rather than tea.;) Tea was usually for breakfast only. For Dutch use this shape is a tea caddy.[/QUOTE]
