Though his work is ardently sought by collectors, Porter's output was not always of consistent quality. His soldering was occasionally sloppy, and his hammer marks were at times random. Here, the seams are nearly invisible, and the art peen hammering (please see third enlargement) is laid out masterfully along the vertical axis.

properly known as a "pie knife," length ten inches, light scratches on front of blade but good overall condition, weight 2.93 Troy ounces, monogrammed with a lovely Art Nouveau script "S."

Excellent condition, monogrammed "Theodora", looks like an ocean liner up there on your screen but actual length is 3 1/2 inches. Not an easy piece to find in this pattern.

length 11 5/8 inches, weight 3.95 Troy ounces, monogrammed "LJA" (reverse, in period script with flourishes) as shown in third enlargement.

The quality of this engraving is above average, and it remains in fine condition.

with finely executed naturalistic engraving, matte finish, gilt interior, 2 3/4 inches high, top diameter: 2 inches, weight 3 oz. Troy, monogrammed "B.K" and something else (in Russian script) which you can see it in photo number three. A kind reader has told us that it means "to your health." There was one small dent that's been tapped out, and it's good work. Aside from that the condition is excellent. Click your mouse and then reach for the vodka; this is a lovely piece of silverware.

maker "AM", height 5 1/4 inches, weight 16.95 Troy ounces, one bobeche is slightly out of round (see fifth enlargement) but excellent overall condition, engraved "A. Arnaud."

French Sculptor Auguste Arnaud is noted for his work "The Skirmisher," now housed at the Redoute de Gravelle in Paris.
