Here is the perfect gift. It is a pair of sterling berry, or jelly, spoons in the Vine-grapevine pattern by Tiffany in a fitted box. I am not sure if the box is original as it is not marked Tiffany but it seems to have been an item with the spoons for a long time. The spoons are in perfect condition and monogram-free. They do have additional English Import Marks for 1911 along the bottom edge of the bowls. They are not very noticeable but they do accurately date the spoons by the Date Letter whi ...click for details

A wonderful sterling tea service decorated with the finest repousse-work I have seen in a long time.

According to Janet Drucker's book on Jensen, these servers are designated Pattern #72. They don't appear to have a name which should not do them any discredit as they are very elegant and graceful. They were evidently made for the British market as they both bear the British import marks for the year they were made.
Early, pre-WWII, Jensen articles are becoming scarcer and acquiring an increasing premium on their price.
Dimensions: Length 7", width 1.75" and 2.75".
This is a magnificent sterling epergne fashioned in the 18th century style, with a large removeable bowl flanked by two smaller removeable bowls supported by two arms which slot into the main structure. Though it may appear flimsy it is of a sturdy construction with cast legs and decorative swags. The amazing thing is the matching sterling plateau. Sterling plateaus are rare but a matched epergne and plateau is pretty unique.
It is in extremely good condition. The only flaw I could detect was a ...click for details
