This beautifully handcrafted, vintage, sterling silver cup by Georg Jensen is something to behold! Georg Jensen was a silversmith, (1866-1935), who incorporated the elements of nature in his designs and those silver pieces are now very highly sought after due to their beauty, quality and exquisite craftsmanship. At the time of his death in 1935 it was proclaimed by the New York Herald Tribune that Mr. Jensen was, "the greatest silversmit...h of the last 300 years". We've included just a brief blurb or two in the photo section about this gifted artisan.
The cup itself is vintage and lovingly used. It is not perfect, nor new. Crafted of hand hammered sterling silver with grapes adorning the bottom. Item weighs 5.200 troy ounces. Cup bears the hallmark GEORG JENSEN, DENMARK, STERLING, 296D on the bottom. The cup stands approximately 3 5/16 inches high x 2 1/4 inches at the widest point. There is a minor ding in one spot, (see photos showing this ding on the interior and exterior of cup). Also notable is a light scratch on the exterior of the cup, (also photographed). There is minor wear consistent with the age of this item, such as a bit of scuffing along bottom rim likely from having been slid across a tabletop during normal use. Nothing at all that detracts from the elegance of this piece overall. Photos are of the exact item you will receive.
