I am no expert on German metalware but I would think this design is circa 1920s - Jugendstil meeting the more geometric forms that we now call Art Deco. But yes, it is nice. [This message has been edited by agphile (edited 05-27-2009).] IP: Logged |

Dating silverplate is a very tricky project. The design appears to be from the 1920's. Using US standards of commercial practice, this would mean that production probably was from 1922, say, into the early 1960's. Production is tied to life cycles. People buy their initial silver when they marry, they expand their silver on their 25th anniversary and finally spruce up the collection when they break up housekeeping and give the silver as a gift. I don't know if the European makers follow this practice. IP: Logged |
