Matched Schofield Baltimore Silversmiths Sterling Silver Tazzas Castle Landscape

About the Item

This unusual matched pair of sterling silver tazzas were made by the Baltimore Silversmiths Manufacturing Company, founded in 1903 by Frank M. Schofield. The tazzas have been finished in the elegant Castle Landscape pattern and feature ornate repoussé decoration consisting of turreted castles with crenellations along with exotic birds and a proliferation of flowers and scrolls set on a stippled ground. The interior surfaces of the shallow bowls bear an engraved diaper pattern and have round blank cartouches at their centers which are bordered by a floral ring. The pieces have polished stems and domed feet decorated with large repoussé flowers, leaves and swirled scrolls while the rims and feet are bordered by thick applied silver bands finished with engraved foliate scrolls. The set is hallmarked with early Baltimore Silversmiths Manufacturing Company marks in use from 1903-1905 consisting of a lion head in a circle flanked by the letters S and B in diamond-shaped cartouches along with other manufacturer marks. The tazzas have a combined weight of 1210 grams. These striking silver tazzas would be a wonderful addition to a collection of Castle Landscape pattern sterling or work equally well showcased on their own. A fine example of antique American silver ideal for display or for serving nuts/fruits.

  • Georg Jensen Sterling Silver Tazza Compote 263B, Grape Motif
    By Georg Jensen
    Located in Cincinnati, OH
    Vintage Georg Jensen sterling silver tazza compote with grape motif. This fabulous Georg Jensen sterling silver tazza features Jensen's iconic grape motif, a celebrated range of pieces which were inspired by the Art Nouveau aesthetic coupled with time the artist spent traveling in Italy. Georg Jensen was born in 1866 and trained as a sculptor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 1892. Jensen began his artistic career in ceramics and started working with silver in 1904. He went on to establish his own smithy in Copenhagen and like many others working during the Art Nouveau period, was strongly influenced by natural forms and structure found in flowers and plants. As mentioned above, Jensen spent time in Italy shortly after the turn of the century and developed an appreciation for ancient Roman silver work. He was also struck by the work of more recent Italian artists and was particularly influenced by those pieces which drew upon classical mythology, such as Baroque painter Caravaggio's 'Bacchus'. Jensen combined these influences with emerging Art Nouveau organic motifs, leading him to utilize the malleable qualities of silver to create his renowned Grape Collection. This form of this silver tazza was initially designed by Jensen in 1918. The piece has a round pedestal foot which rises to a thick columnar stem reminiscent of the twisting trunk...
