German Pforzheim 1920 Guilloche Blue Enamel Round Box In .935 Sterling Silver

About the Item

A guilloche enameled round box. Fabulous German early 20th century enamel box, created in Pforzheim Germany, circa 1920. This beautiful box was carefully crafted at the workshop of E&W, with impeccable details in solid .935/.999 standard silver with gold gilt interiors finish. Made of circular form with a five barrels hinged lid raised by a simple thumbpiece. Engine turned guilloche decoration topped with applications of translucent light blue enamel. Weight: 86.40 Grams, (55.38 Dwt). Measurements: Diameter of 61 mm and a height of 22.5 mm (2.40 x 0.89 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with German marks of the crescent moon and the crown, the maker's mark monogram ESW, an unidentified mark with a flower and the mark for the assay of the .935 silver. Note: The maker's mark ESW is stamped over a mark indicating .800. Looks like by mistake was previously stamped .800 for the silver fineness and then re-stamped E&W, obliterating the mistaked silver mark. The German pieces for export should be made with a fineness of .935/.999 and for national consumption .800/.999. This was established by the common country treaty in Europe for importation of silver-made pieces.
