Vesta case with enamelled insect

- Austrian silver, around 1900
- Wat het is
- German, 935, after 1888
The punch beside the fineness turned out to be a crescent moon and crown — the German national standard mark introduced in 1888, not an Austro-Hungarian assay mark. 935 is no accident either: well above the usual 800, and softer, which makes it better to fire enamel onto. Here the fineness tells you what kind of workshop made it.
