    When cleaning up the chest of drawers I came across this
    wine funnel with grape ear against.

    Heirloom of great aunt

    Silver or Silver plated.
    Unfortunately not noticed.

    The funnel is 16 cm. long and
    has a diameter at the top of 9 cm.
    Weight: 145 gr.

    Remarkable is the loose sieve, which can be made by hand or perhaps pressed
    Is there anything known whether such pieces can also be unnoticed?
    Who can tell me more.

    Photos before and after brushing
    Greetings, Jeanny

    Wow, you did a great job cleaning it, Jeanny.
    Not all silver is marked, but judging from the pre-clean colour I would think it is silver plated. But let's wait for the others, like @Bakersgma .:)
    That grape thumb rest is a nice detail, I like the way the grapes hang over the edge.;)

    Why wouldn't it have been marked?
    Can anyone estimate how old it could be?

    The old OSP ones I've handled have shorter, wider, tapered spouts ..so going by construction and design I would guess this is a 20thc version.

    Silver plated is usually not marked in Continental Europe. Silver is.
    Yours could be Dutch, since both you and the seller on Catawiki are Dutch. There is no specific Dutch mark for silverplate, because it didn't need to be assayed.
