The brazier was on display at the exhibition Friesch Zilver in the Fries Museum, Leeuwarden, in 1927. There was one showcase present with two shelves for objects of the Royal Family, see page 39 of this catalogue. The contribution of the family was not mentioned in the catalogue, however a very rare image of this showcase was stuck in the book of Nanne Ottema's personal catalogue with his own annotations, which is now in a private collection.
