I found this beautiful set of four (4) ashtrays each depicting a wonderfully chased Card Suit. I believe the ashtrays are silverplate.
If anybody can provide more information regarding country of manufacture & maker, that would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Alinabruk,

Your silver ash trays are made by: B.W. van Eldik & A.F. van der Scheer or Hollandia Zilversmeden, date entry/struck 1917/1950, location city of Zutphen in the Netherlands,
Lion passant 2, for .833 fineness used 1814-1953, minerva head(assay office mark), date letter X for 1932

Dear Oel,

Thank you so much for the information. I was under impression that it was a silverplate & English in origin. How far off I was.

I really appreciate your time & information.

Kind Regards,
Alina

Just as a note, from your pictures, see no indication of chasing, the decoration appears to be die-struck.

Thank you for the information, Cheryl.

I suspect these were cast, if the backsides were shown, it would likely prove/disprove it.

Dear Salmoned,

Thank you for your information as well. I am adding a photo of the back of all four ashtrays.

They are cast, as Salmoned suggested and as most similar pieces are - nicely made little set.

Thank you, Cheryl, Salmoned & Oel for all of your information. I really appreciate you willing to share your knowledge & opinion.
Kind Regards,
Alina
