Anoniem (1608)

[python_regius]

This is the earliest surviving jug and dish made in the Northern Netherlands. It was the showpiece of the city of Flushing’s silver collection. An unknown silversmith in Amsterdam made the set. That the city of Flushing commissioned its principal silver ornaments in distant Amsterdam demonstrates the capital’s preeminence as a silver centre. A position that had earlier been occupied by Antwerp.   rijksmuseum.nl
