About this Item

Johann Hasse
Cape Colony
Six Cape silver orange spoons, Johann Hasse, c.1751-1778
pointed terminal and bowl, 105g all in

Notes

Born in Brunswick, Hasse arrived in the Cape as a soldier in 1751. In August 1752 he was loaned as a silversmith to Matthias Lotter's widow whom he married three months later. Johan Hendrik was the first silversmithing member of the Vos family. He served his indentures with Johann Hasse for a period of five years from 1761. Hasse died in 1779.

The orange spoon is probably one of the most attractive spoons made in the Cape. The size of a teaspoon, it has a narrow, pointed, boat-shaped bowl and triangular terminal and is generally engraved with floral decoration.
