HOOIJKAAS. SCHOONHOVENS ZILVER IN AMBACHT EN SERIE 1874 - 2008

Geillustreerde kartonomslag in kleur, 225 x 275mm., 128pp., zeer uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789040077715. Begin twintigste eeuw werd een industriele productielijn voor het vervaardigen van schepwerk opgezet. Er kwam een geleidelijke modernisering van de ontwerpen op gang. Bekend zijn de ontwerpen in de organische vorm van art deco, serviezen, bestekken en de geschenken van Douwe Egberts. Met de zilveren miniaturen van Hooijkaas konden verschillende kamertjes worden ingericht. Naast de industriele producten zagen ook heel bijzondere, meer ambachtelijke zilveren objecten bij Hooijkaas het licht. Bijvoorbeeld zilveren scheepsmodellen die varieerden van fantasie schepen uit het verleden tot nauwkeurige schaalmodellen van bestaande schepen. Eind jaren zestig belandde de zilverfabriek in een economisch ongunstige tijd - de moderne huisvrouw wil geen zilver meer poetsen. Van enig herstel is geen sprake meer en in 1993 gaat het bedrijf op in de Verenigde Goud en Zilverfabrieken Schoonhoven, samen met de zilverfabrieken Zilverstad en Niekerk. Onder de merknaam Hooijkaas worden vanaf 1997 nog een aantal jaren relatiegeschenken uitgebracht, maar op 1 april 2008 viel het doek definitief voor de Schoonhovensche zilverfabriek H. Hooijkaas. Nieuw boek.
