Gorham Sterling Teapot.
Height: 10". Monogrammed 19th century teapot with two ivory decorative
accents to handle. Bottom stamped with Gorham mark and "STERLING / A2111 /
3¼ PINT". Minor finish wear, a few small dings around the belly, the
handle needs to be tightened, otherwise nice luster, very attractive shape and
decoration. Very good condition.
Floral and foliate chased and
repoussé decorations accent the somewhat Rococo lines of our offering --
we spot three types of flowers, acanthus and several other leaves. Elegant
scrolled feet and an ornate finial complete this wonderful vestige of more
formal times.
Estimated Value $350-450.
Lot 852
Silver Serving Tray with
Crystal Decanter and Tumblers. Lovely heavy-plate serving tray with ice
bucket, two decanters and six tumblers. Probably late 19th century (1870-1890s)
tray and glassware, although two of the tumblers are of more recent vintage.
All six tumblers are a hobnail star and fan pattern. The tray has been
repeatedly polished but the foliate/floral pattern accented with birds and
butterflies remains sharp. The tray's mark, "RMJ & Co. S", has not been
identified. There is some wear, most notably on the silver lid of the ice
bucket, but all of the pieces are still lustrous and remarkably
fine.
The quality, design and detail of the glass and silverplate create
a set with charm and elegance one is hard-pressed to find in more modern
groupings.
Estimated Value $300-400.
