Koekenpan 1780

"Koekenpan" (Dutch for "frying pan") is a miniature silver frying pan created in 1780 by Dutch silversmith Hendrik Duller. This small, meticulously crafted object, measuring just 9.6 cm in length and 4.3 cm in diameter, is a testament to Duller's skill and the artistry of Dutch silversmithing in the late 18th century. The pan's simple yet elegant form, with its smooth, polished surface and delicately curved handle, exemplifies the refined aesthetic of the period. It is a fascinating example of how everyday objects could be elevated to works of art.
