Literature

For the mark, cf. Hintze, Die deutschen Zinngießer, vol. III, Aalen 1964, no. 2364. Arend Wiese was born in Buxtehude and apprenticed in Lübeck under Harmen Godt. He became a citizen of Wilster in 1666 and joined the Hamburg office as an outside master in 1680. A further published vessel by this master, namely a jug, is kept in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.
