Presented is an interesting vintage 900 purity silver figurine of an archaic Greek ship, dating to around the 1930s-1960s. The model is likely of Greek make itself, though it could be from many European countries using the 900 standard. The model is of a stylized ship with both oars and sails on a stylized little oval of open 'ocean,' complete with a dangling anchor and scroll prow/figurehead, done in brass for a nice pop of contrast. The piece is quite well made and nicely detailed.
This piece is in excellent overall condition. There was likely a second anchor, opposite where the existing anchor is, but if so this piece is no longer present, and the other example of this form I can find lacks a second anchor or any other ornament hanging from that spot. There are no splits, no dents, no other breaks, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The piece is stamped 900 for the purity of the silver, on the interior of the ship, between the seats. The anchor and the flourish at the prow are brass, however.
The piece measures about 7 1/2 x 5 1/8 x 5 7/8 inches, LxWxH. This piece weighs 159 grams or 5.6 regular ounces. -jm
