Description
The Norwegian silver sets are built by hand in elaborate openwork floral motifs and decorative bands sculpted from silver stock and filled with jewel-tone glass enamels in the technique plique a jour - French for 'letting in daylight.' The circular solid silver base of each cup and each saucer is embellished in blue, and or red, guilloche enamel on the inside and stamped with the maker's hallmark for Marius Hammer and the Norwegian silver standard stamp of 930s, greater than that of Sterling silver.
Red sauce measures 4.25, cup is 2 x 3 x 2.5, blue saucer is 4, and the cup is 2 x 3 x 2.5 inches.
Provenance: The collection of Josephine Bird Hall (1888 - 1948) by descent to her son, the present owner. Josephine's father was a founder of Kansas City's Emery, Bird, Thayer Department Store.
AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
Be aware that internet sales tax applies to all Internet transactions and local sales tax may apply to local pick-up transactions.
We happily provide seamless in-house packing and shipping services on nearly everything we sell.
Until further notice, we cannot offer international shipping in-house.
