Description
- Ensemble de vingt-et-un couverts et deux cuillères à ragoût en argent principalement par Jean-Christian Zahrt, Strasbourg, 1771-1775, quelques pièces par la veuve Fritz, Strasbourg, Paris, 1785-1789
- Les armes sont celles de la famille Zorn de Bulach, d'Alsace. Les fourchettes et cuillères insculpées du poinçon de la veuve Fritz sont au poinçon de date K. Jean-Frédéric Zahrt meurt en 1780 selon l'ouvrage Deux siècles d'Orfèvrerie à Strasbourg, 2004. Le livre antérieur, Orfèvrerie de Strasbourg, Kugel, 1964, notait qu'il était mort en 1777. Dans l'ouvrage de 1964, la lettre K correspond à 1761, or, à cette époque, Madame Fritz n'est pas veuve. Par conséquent, selon toute probabilité, la lettre K correspond à 1785, bien que l'ouvrage précise que la dernière lette date utilisée est le I en 1784.
