Zeepbak van zilver 1735

This small silver soap dish, created by Dutch silversmith Abraham van der Hoeff in 1735, is a prime example of the craftsmanship of the era. The piece, measuring only 3.1 cm in height and 2.3 cm in diameter, showcases a simple yet elegant design, characterized by its smooth, rounded form and a small, decorative handle. The meticulous attention to detail and the high quality of the silver speak volumes about the artist's skill and the value placed on fine craftsmanship during this period. Despite its diminutive size, this soap dish serves as a testament to van der Hoeff's artistry and the enduring appeal of silver objects in the 18th century.
