About the Item

This pre-1945 fish serving set was designed by Johan Rohde for Georg Jensen of Denmark. The sterling silver pieces have been made in Rohde's popular Acorn pattern which was introduced in 1915. The fish set consists of two pieces including a serving spoon and four tine serving fork, both of which have perforations to allow for draining. The finials and stems incorporate the decorative elements common to the Acorn pattern as well as featuring the bodies of two fish crossed over each other where the stems meet the flat portions of the serving pieces. The spoon and fork both bear the Jensen hallmark used from 1933 to 1944 and are stamped Sterling and Denmark. The fork measures 9.375" in length, 2.5" wide and is 1.375" from the display surface to the top edge of the tines. The spoon's measurements are noted elsewhere in this description. The set weighs 263.8 grams. This unusual fish set displays beautifully and would be great addition to a collection of pre-1945 Jensen Acorn motif sterling, or work equally well as stand alone serving pieces. A lovely example Jensen silver.

Pre 1945 Georg Jensen Sterling Silver Tazza Compote 263B, Grape Motif
By Georg Jensen
Located in Cincinnati, OH
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...
