Berlin, marks of Hermann Neupert, c. 1770.

Hermann Neupert II came from a family of goldsmiths based in Norden/East Frisia - and worked in Berlin from around 1762 to 1772, where Frederick II entrusted him with the completion of the silverware begun by Christian Lieberkühn in 1746/47.
After the Berlin years, he went back to his home town of Norden and remained there until his death in 1807.
"Until the end of his long professional life, Neupert persistently adhered to the rococo style he had become acquainted with and mastered in Berlin." (Cat. Norder Silber, Norden 1997, p. 20). His elegant works can be found today, for example, in the Oldenburg State Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
