Fine Pair 1890s GERMAN HAND BLOWN CUT GLASS & SILVER WINE EWERS/PITCHERS ROCOCO
Regular price
$4,485.00
Presented is an attractive pair of antique German hand blown cut glass and silver wine ewers or pitchers. The hand blown glass on the body is cut into a swirl pattern. The silver on the handle, neck, and lid also has a swirl pattern. There is the monogram KE with a crown above inside the cartouche. The crown over the monogram most likely indicates that this belonged to a noble family with a title. The silver work is textured and detailed in the rococo style. The lid hinges work well. The inside of the top is gilded. The silver work is really lovely on this pair and the two together make for a very attractive sight. The pitchers were made between 1874-1910.
The pitchers are marked with a crescent moon, a crown, 800 for .800 purity silver and the maker's mark S, S, H, and a crown arranged in a cross pattern with a star in the middle for the makers Storck & Sinsheimer.
The pitchers are in good condition. The cut glass has some minor wear and chips to the edges. The wear to the glass was probably caused by the two ewers bumping together, as all the wear is at the widest point of the bodies where they would touch. The hinges work well. There are no splits, no dents, no cracks, no monogram removals, no breaks, and no repairs.
The pitchers are 10 inches tall.
The pitchers weigh 3 pounds and 11 ounces as a pair.
