[07-0803] What is wedding silver? I former days people put their values in items of precious metal. Buttons, spoons cups all daily items - but only used at special occupations. At weddings the happy pair received what was available - what the person could give. An item for use but also - and most important - for savings. I have several pieces containing the marks of occasion - wedding. Double initials. But please set your wedding silver in this. Here we have Anders Jensen Busted, born 1714, master in Århus November 17th 1749 - dead 1768. The 4 marks are under the bottom of a cup. Danish standard was 4 marks. 1. master 2. city 3. tax (month mark) and 4. guardein. In Århus livet 3.500 people at that time - so selling silver, not very common, and only a few silversmith. So our friend is missing 3 marks - the guardein should set them. So what to do - he puts 4 marks. People did not know meaning, nature of marks. They knew that in Copenhagen finest silver had 4 marks. In fact all siver should bear 4 marks. Anders Jensen Busted solved problem by adding 4 times his masters mark. IP: Logged |

The prik engravement dates this to 1760. Initials of the bride MND where D is corresponding to Datter. Meaning Daughter of. The N is first letter in her fathers name could be Nils or Niels or similar. And M is her first name - could be Maren, Marie or Mette or similar. Giwing her a name like "Maren NilsDatter" Her husband JSSH - I would expect S to be last letter for Søn (i.e. son of) where the first S being fathers name Søren, Sven or similar and J his first name Jens or similar. Giving Jens SørenSøn as a suggestion. The H however puzzles me. I will have to turn to church records from 1760 and find the happy couple. Somewhere in time this cup left Denmark going to US. I suppose that the family left Denmark to give it a try in the new world. Today the cup returned to Denmark. Next time I go to Århus I will bring the cup and say - back again my traveling companion. What a co-incident. Me looking at bib-bib More research to come - when I find info. In between we take another piece. or 5. Look how Bøje made a drawing - not him but the illustration. A corner is missing up-left. Thereby identifying my cup whit the same mistake up/left corner. To much to be a ?. No the up left corner makes it certain. IP: Logged |
