About the Item
Champagne For Celebration!
Sterling Silver Champagne Bucket and Mirrored Tray
set includes: bucket, tray, champagne bottle, 2 glasses, plexi-display case with display block.
For the first time in over 30 years, we are thrilled to present three curated sets of sterling silver, rhodium-plated miniatures. Within the three sets, you will find something for the writer, the coffee drinker, and any special celebration. Using Eugene Kupjack’s original patterns from the Miniature Reproductions of Antique Silver set from the 1960s, Jay Kupjack has crafted three sets of 1/12 scale, tarnish-proof silver collectibles. Each set includes a plexiglass display case. The original set ceased production for the public in the 1980s, bringing us to this special reproduction decades later.
In the 1930s, Mrs. Narcissa Niblack Thorne, also known as Mrs. James Ward Thorne, put her imagination to reality with the help of a group of skilled artisans in Chicago. Eugene Kupjack found himself among the group. Working alongside Mrs. Thorne, Eugene crafted intricate scenes historically based on American and European interiors from the 13th century to the 20th century. Each room was crafted at a 1:12 scale, containing handmade replicas of furniture, molding, household items, and rugs. For years, the miniatures have been an adored collection of artisan craft, transporting viewers into wondrous tiny spaces from centuries otherwise inaccessible.
Eugene Kupjack’s sons Hank and Jay learned the art at his side while he worked with Mrs. Thorne. As the years passed, his sons were left to carry on the legacy of Mrs. Thorne's adored miniatures. The Kupjacks continued to build miniature rooms throughout the years, creating a select number to be sold to museums and collectors. As the last living member of the Kupjack family, Jay continues to work with the art of miniatures through new rooms, restorations on original works, and collectible sets such as The Miniature Reproductions of Sterling Silver.
