Evenveeltjespan 1768

"Evenveeltjespan," created in 1768 by Pieter van (II) Somerwil, is a small silver pan with four indentations. The pan is used to make a traditional Dutch treat known as "evenveeltjes," which are small pancakes cooked in the indentations. It is a testament to the craftsmanship of Dutch silversmiths from the 18th century, and is a perfect example of functional art, seamlessly blending utility with aesthetic appeal. The pan’s diminutive size, measuring 9 cm long and 3.9 cm in diameter, speaks to the intimacy and detail of domestic life in the past.
