An iconic vintage 1950s Art Deco handmade 830 silver coffee/teapot creamer and sugar set designed by Harry Sorby for the firm of David Andersen in Oslo, Norway. This design was in production from the 1930s, and was very popular due to the modern look, and the superb craftsmanship by the David Andersen workshop! The designer is Harry Sorby (1905-1988) who began working for David Andersen in 1921, and started designing for David Andersen in 1929 after graduating from art school. This design is from the early 1930s, very avantgarde for the time, and the classic style remained popular for decades into the early years of the post-war period. The teapot has a wooden 'ear' shaped handle, and a wooden finial at top. It measures about 7" tall by 9" from spout to outer edge of handle by 4.75" wide. It weighs 580 grams, or about 20.5 ounces total! Marked as shown at bottom, "David Andersen", "830S", some other marks, and "1L" for one liter capacity inside the pot. The pot is engraved near the bottom, "Til Freidun fra Mamma Poppa 20-3-54". (To Freidun from Mom and Dad March 20, 1954) Most likely a gift on a daughters wedding, the engraving adds history and charm in my opinion, but could be easily removed by a jeweler if you desire. The creamer stands 2" high at rim by 3.5" wide by 5" long from handle to spout, and weighs 100 grams or over 3 ounces total. It is marked "D-A 830S" and the Scales mark with design number 7050, and also has an abbreviated version of the engraving detailed above. The sugar bowl measures 2" high at rim by 4" wide by 5-3/4" from handle to handle, and weighs 102 grams total. It is signed at bottom, "D-A 830S" and the Scales mark with the design number 7049, and also has an abbreviated version of the engraving. The pieces of this set are all very shiny and reflective, and there are many dark areas in my photos that are not tarnish or damage just reflections. Excellent vintage condition.
