At a dinnerparty for sponsors of the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a great number of jugs designed and made by gold- and silversmiths for the exhibition "Ken 't dat ik u kan? Kannen die u niet kan kennen, decorated the beautifully laid tables.

The dinner was held on 22 November and the jugs provoked lengthy discussions, both positive and negative. For many guests it was their first confrontation with contemporary silver.

The exhibition was held earlier this year in Studio 925, Schoonhoven, and will be part of the stand of Studio 925 at the pAn fair in Amsterdam, 18 - 25 november.
