venus Posts: 282 Registered: Jul 2005	posted 02-11-2007 05:55 PM [01-2554] Using the search feature here I was able to solve "mystery" marks on a small Georg Jensen bowl I have. I had thought the extra marks were from one of his designers, but found out from a previous post that they were London import marks by George Stockwell. It is marked with Mr Stockwell's marks and the Jensen mark for the years 1925 to 1932 and 925S and 81B. My question are this. Was it designed and made by Georg Jensen or one of his designers? Is there a way to find this out? IP: Logged

Ulysses Dietz Moderator Posts: 1265 Registered: May 99	posted 02-14-2007 02:45 PM In spite of the date associate with your piece of Jensen, it might well have been designed much earlier, and by Georg Jensen himself. Janet Drucker's book on Jensen silver is very useful, and there are others out there. Johan Rohde was an important designer, but as far as I can recall, the earliest stuff is all by Georg and then Rohde joins in during the teens and twenties. I'm too old to actually hold onto much information, and I'm not at my office--but the standard references on Jensen will be able to help. IP: Logged

venus Posts: 282 Registered: Jul 2005	posted 02-14-2007 05:43 PM Thanks for your answers. Will try and get an out of town library loan on the silver books, if I cannot manage to purchase them. I will try with the mark. It is down in the "well" at the bottom of the bowl or dish. I tried taking shots but they did not turn out, but will try again. The mark is the crown over the sideways oval with GEORG JENSEN inside it. Also it has 925S beside it. OK here it is, but I think it is probably next to use less. IP: Logged
venus Posts: 282 Registered: Jul 2005	posted 04-23-2007 08:34 AM Taking up my search again I found an online catalog which gave the following information, for 81B. It said 81B was the Cactus pattern, designed by Gundorph Albertus, art director for the Georg Jensen Silversmithy, 1926-1954. Since the website comes from a reputable shop, sharing the same last name as a well known, respected Jensen researcher, it leads me to be terribly confused. Did each designer have their own numbering system? In other words could there be several 81B under the Jensen "umbrella"? IP: Logged
