ABOUT: This cute Art Deco era piece comes from Tiffany's youth or juvenile line - "Nursery Rhyme". Here we have a fun and whimsical cup or mug in the Jack and Jill motif. VERY sturdy / heavy piece. I have a Tiffany nursery rhyme flatware set so please check out my other listings. NO MONOGRAMS ON THE CUP! Fantastic depiction of Jack and Jill, I believe it is acid etched because the inside of the cup is smooth / thick silver. Has a linear detail around the rim and a sturdy hand feel...

ABOUT: Very interesting form that I have not seen before. Fantastic trophy? or perhaps a gravy boat, bon bon, nut or sugar dish / bowl made by Durgin, one of the finest makers of the time, dating to the turn of the century! Very nice quality in an interesting ship / boat / gondola form. Dated 1906 with no other personalizations which made me wonder if it was given at a boat race or something. I am unsure of its history but it is a nice size that would hold candies or nuts or be used as a... Click for details

ABOUT: Very substantial piece by Durgin from the Victorian Era, one of the largest canisters I have held. I believe due to size it is a tea caddy, but could have other uses.

Not often found and very eye catching with the larger size. Lovely rose / floral and scroll design. Would be beautiful on your dining table, for tea time, or in a... Click for details

This 4 5/8" long, 1 1/8" high, 2.8 T. oz., almond dish is a recast example of Gorham's model number "1990" piece. Please refer to preceding item 3221f for an example of the original item.

While this is a relatively well executed instance of a reproduction, clear differences exist with an authentic, first run, piece.

Overall clarity of detail on this is rather lacking, with the surfaces largely smooth rather than conveying the full subtlety of the shells and barnacles.

Gorham produced a number of items related in motif to its fabled "Narragansett" line, of which this 4 7/8" long, 1" high, 2.3 T. oz., almond dish, model number "1990," is an instance.

Such pieces utilized marine forms, including shells, crabs, and barnacles joined together to form the end product.

This body of this example is a large shell, with a smaller shell functioning as the foot, while the base is covered in barnacles.

The perception is that Gorham used actual artifacts and life... Click for details
