Tureen and stand with a ladle

This tureen and stand bear the alliance coat of arms of Baron Assueer Jan Torck and Eusebia Jacoba de Rode van Heeckeren, who were married in 1758. This couple was closely acquainted with the stadtholder and his consort. The imposing tureen, an early example of Neoclassical Hague silver, affords a good impression of the art at and around the stadtholder’s court.
