Swiss Silver Covered Tureen by Baltensperger, circa 1920s

About the Item

A very fine quality handmade Swiss sterling silver covered tureen, of circular form, with hand-hammered cover and base, both of which have decorative ribbing, with oval loop handle on the cover and flattened scrolled strap handles and feet. Signed Baltensperger. 55.33 troy ounces. This piece is weighty, with no expense spared in its materials or craftsmanship. Baltensperger was a high end silversmithy in Zurich which is no longer in operation. This piece is a 1930s, interpretation of a Baroque form and would be beautiful as a centerpiece on a dining table, sideboard or center table, as well as a spectacular serving dish. It also is very beautiful with a floral arrangement in it.

    A magnificent, fine and impressive, large antique Edwardian English sterling silver cup & cover; an addition to our antique presentation silverware collection. This magnificent and large antique Edwardian sterling silver presentation cup and cover has a Campania shaped form onto a circular spreading pedestal foot. The lower bulbous portion of the silver cup is encircled with chased fluted ornamentation. Either side of the plain upper portion of the body of this cup is embellished with an exceptional and large applied ribbon tied laurel branch wreath, replicating the border of a classic cartouche. This impressive Edwardian presentation cup retains the impressive, original hallmarked push fit cover surmounted with an exceptional, fine and impressive cast sterling silver overlapping leaf and bud style finial. The rim of this substantial cover is encompassed with an impressive applied egg and dart decorated border. This antique cup and cover is fitted with two very impressive cast sterling silver handles modelled in the form of conjoined snakes, above a figural mask and Caduceus.
