Featured Silver Plated Cup

Another item that came in today (from the same package as the spoons I posted earlier)
I think it's from Dutch maker Herbert Hooijkaas.
Just had to have it when I saw it online. Too cute not to buy it (even with it being just plated, and having a few dents)

Well, not so cute how it came in:

But after a good clean, it now looks like this

And the reason I bought it...
The handle:

and the maker's mark

 

doesn't 90 refer to 900 Silver ?

 

That would have been nice, but it indicates that 90 grams of silver were used to plate it

 

Still..... 90 grams .... isn't that 3 oz ......????

 

how much does the darn thing weigh???

 

It's 90 grams ... used on a complete set. So per item, the amount of silver is much lower.

 

LOVE the handle!!!!

 

A sweet plated christening cup.

Yes, it is the mark of the Hooijkaas factory in Schoonhoven. Afaik this is the mark that was used from 1943-1980. I would say your cup was made in the earlier years of the use of the mark, 1943-early 50s.
