Lodewijk Willem van Kooten - Amsterdamse School - Tea service (4) - .934 silver

Description: A refined tea service consisting of four pieces, unmistakably bearing the influence of the Amsterdam School. It is the work of the Amsterdam silversmith Lodewijk Willem (Lody) van Kooten (1903–1972), a member of a prominent jeweler family that has flourished for two generations. Van Kooten was known for his exceptional craftsmanship and his talent for creating graceful silver objects. The subtly brushed texture, the finely chiseled ornaments, and the balanced distribution of planes form the characteristic signature of his hand—an harmony of artisanal perfection and artistic refinement.
