Silver mini basket marked  "H. HOOIJKAAS SCHOONHOVEN HOLLAND" and with a lion walking to the right with a 2 underneath it, meaning the silver content is 835/1000 or 83,5 %. In many countries, such as the Netherlands and Germany, 835 silver is very common for jewellery and utensils. It is slightly firmer than 925 silver and easier to work with, which makes it more suitable for certain applications.

 

From founder Herbert Hooijkaas in 1874, as a small independent to one of Schoonhoven's largest working silver factories until its closure in 2008. H.Hooijkaas' silver factory made beautiful silver cutlery, bread baskets, bonbon baskets and one-of-a-kind items.
