Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Antique German REPOUSSE Silver ANGELS Napkin, Letter or Card Holder}

Offering here a very rare and unique Antique German REPOUSSE Silver ANGELS Napkin, Letter or Card Holder for either the Office or your Tea Table. It is such an elegant addition. Below this post you find more links with also photos as a Card Holder. Hope you enjoy this special piece of silver work by German Silversmith ADAM MANNS & SOHN. This Holder is from before 1938 when they added a dot to the AMD silver mark after son Wilhelm took over. You will see info below.
Frolicking ANGELS or PUTTI decorate this beautiful Napkin, Card or Letter Holder...
Used here with hand crocheted cocktail napkins.
This rare antique piece is available for sale at my ZenCart powered on line Boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics: Antique REPOUSSE Silver ANGELS Napkin or Card Holder. 
This will adorn any tea table or hors d'œuvre buffet in a very romantic way!
Again I did use the gifted hand crocheted lace table topper made by blogger friend Susan from Ava Grace's Closet's Mama and of course our favorite Gardenias, the Large variety.
Don't you love these frolicking ANGELS together with the lace and flowers?
Creating a little bit of heaven on earth...
This is the back side, which is exactly the same as the front.
Different angle...
Showing you its bottom part and width, with feet.
Closeup of those frolicking ANGELS... PUTTI
The Silver Mark 800 AMD by ADAM MANNS & SOHN
This is the older mark from before 1938 as it is in a different sequence and without the • (dot) behind AMD as later was used by Adam's son Wilhelm
Sold out...
Once more, thanks to the help of Johanna Gehrlein's exceptional book about Silver Rose tableware I found all the info in her book: Rosen-Bestecke  
THANKS a lot Johanna!
