At 6" long, this sterling silver spoon is Gorham's Luxembourg is probably for sugar. The bowl, however, is quite generously proportioned, so it may be for jelly. It is an old example in this line, with flanged and heavily decorated shoulders around the bowl. It also has the lion, anchor, G mark, along with the word Sterling. It is in immaculate condition, and without a monogram or monogram removal. There is no visible wear whatsoever, nor damage.

One would expect something out of the ordinary from Gorham, and indeed our piece is no square. It has two acute and two obtuse angles, making the corner to corner dimensions 6 5/8 and 7 1/2 inches. This along with some superb Philadelphia style brite cut engraving make for a rather unusual item. Weight 4.7 oz Troy, date letter J for 1877, fine condition, stylized monogram in center.

This 5 1/2" long, sterling silver ladle tells its own story, largely divulged in the marks. They are Georg Jensen's entwined G and J, used in the first decade of the 20th century. Additional marks are Sterling, Denmark, and 21, which is the pattern number. The piece is outstanding condition, with no signs of wear or damage.

This 5 1/2" long, sterling silver fork is marked 21 (for the pattern), Sterling, Denmark, and Georg Jensen. It is a two-pronged pieced, and has a planished surface. It also has a curious added embellishment joining the leaf and berry to the shank at the arc of handle. Whether this is characteristic of smaller pieces, related to the date of the item, or just a peculiarity of this, those familiar with Jensen would have to opine. The condition is flawless.

It is difficult to imagine this 6" long, and weighty, sterling silver sauce (or possibly shallow gravy) ladle did not find its inspiration from Georg Jensen's Blossom design. Made by Randahl, the intent may have been to demonstrate that this Chicago based operation could match, or even improve upon, the original. It is a thoroughly successful piece, very much embodying the best characteristics of Danish arts & crafts style. Marked "Hand Wrought Sterling" (along with Randahl and the number 268...

This sterling silver item appears to have a double identity. At first glance, it presents as a mug, but close inspection shows it has a pouring lip, indicating it a pitcher. The question immediately rises, is this original, or is the modest lip an adaptation performed after its manufacture. The key to this lies with the maker, which was Gorham, whose lion, anchor, G mark appears on the underside, along with Sterling, the number 4130, and the date emblem for 1887. The Gorham catalog of 1889 (... Click for details

American decorative design impulses of the 19th century were nothing if not imaginative. This 8 1/4" long, circa 1870, sterling silver ice cream server is testament to that. It was made by New York's Wood & Hughes, as indicated by the WwH mark, and retailed by Louisville, Kentucky's Kitts & Werne, as stamped. The shank is a triple wire form surmounted by a twisted wire, dome-capped end. The blade is asymmetrical, is engraved on the interior, and finished in a matte, bronze-colored gold wash....
