Kerr Sterling Silver Baby Set Rich in Turn-of-the-Century Assumptions

About the Item

Turn-of-the-century sterling silver baby set rich in period assumptions. Made by William B. Kerr in Newark. This set comprises cup, bowl, and plate. Cup has acid-etched frieze depicting sailor-suited, flag-holding, all-American boy with exotic coevals in native dress relegated to background. Imagery enhanced with verse: “Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, little frosty Eskimo, little Turk or Japanese—Oh! Don’t you wish that you were me?” Ahem. Bowl sides feature modes of transportation including horse (American), reindeer (Eskimo), bear (Russian), and giraffe (African). On plate shoulder are ethnographic caricatures of children’s heads in strapwork frames. Fully marked including maker’s stamp and no. 1483. Very good condition. Dimensions: Cup: H 2 3/4 x W 4 x D 2 7/8 in. Bowl: H 2 x D 4 1/2 in. Plate: H 1/2 x D 6 1/2 in. Total weight: 12.5 troy ounces.
