拍品專文

The salt-cellars, the mustard pot and the pepper caster formed part of the service that was presented by the city of Amterdam to the Prince of Orange (King William II) and Anna Paulowna as a wedding gift. The service was executed by the two leading Amsterdam firms of that time: Bennewitz en Bonebakker and Diemont. Hendrik Smits executed the dishes and saucers, the other pieces were made by Diederik Lodewijk Bennewitz, Jacob Hendrik Stellingwerff and Anthonie de Haas. The service, which comprised 419 pieces, was presented to the newly wedded couple during a visit to Amsterdam in 1818. Afterwards the entire service was exhibited in The Hague.
Parts of the service are in Dutch museums: the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam owns amongst various other pieces a tureen on a stand;two entree-dishes on braziers; four rectangular chargers and one circular charger and Museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam owns a tureen on a stand.
