Hi everybody,

Hi Vervene,

The 3rd mark right hand corner, shield with four lion’s rampant facing left; the guild city mark of Schoonhoven, 1st mark left is the date letter G for 1800, 2nd mark, the maker’s mark appears to be a shield with a 'diagonal' bar for: Jan van Eck registered May 1793- 1811 died 1825. Jan van Eck known box and miniature maker with two known maker's mark; the shield 'diagonal' bar and VE conjoined.

Gratitude; Zilversmeden van de stad Schoonhoven
