Lodderein box - .835 silver

These tiny boxes would be filled with a little sponge, perfumed with perfume that was known as 'l'eau du rheine' or queenswater. In Dutch, this French term was muddled into the phonetic 'loderein' so they are also known as 'loderein boxes'. This particular example has a rectangular shape with rounded corners and is decorated with a pattern of 'stacked coins' pattern and four-leaf clovers. Hallmarked with a Dutch hallmark for 835/1000 silver and 'P' for 1874. It carries the maker's mark for S. T. Reitsma Jr., a silversmith who operated in Sneek.
