I just received this spoon which stylistically reminds me of Enkhuizen but it only has one blurry mark. I know this is also a popular style of spoon that was frequently copied later on. I took a gamble but the wear in the bowl seems old and honest to me. It does have the later dolphin in a triangle mark on the front near the stem and bowl connection. Also, are there any good references for Enkhuizen silversmiths? Any help would be appreciated.
Enkhuizen spoon?
Re: Enkhuizen spoon?
So far there are no good books about; Alkmaar, Enkhuizen or Hoorn or so called silver of the Noorderkwartier or West Frisian silversmiths.
Perhaps in the near future.

I don't know if it will be of any use, but on the Metropolitan Museum website you can find many pictures of spoons from Enkhuizen, and other cities of course.

I have only recently discovered it, but perhaps everyone already knew it, except me.
