Very nice design by Chris van der Hoef, Theo Hooft and George Nilsson.
The Gero factory in Zeist was founded in 1912 by Marius Gerritsen, a descendant of a well-known Amsterdam jeweler's family. The company mainly focused on the middle class audience who could not afford real silver, but who did appreciate beautiful and luxurious utensils. Initially, the emphasis was mainly on the production of cutlery made of so-called "new silver" or alpaca: an alloy of tin, nickel and copper, which strongly resembles silver. This cutlery was also supplied with a thin layer of silver.
During the 1920s, several freelance artists provided contemporary and modern designs for Gero products. Chris van der Hoef was one of the most productive designers and designed a large number of objects inspired by the Amsterdam School from 1923 onwards. Theo Hooft and the well-known designer George Nilsson were also associated with the Gerofabriek as designers. Between 1923 and 1954 Gero produced tin.
