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.

A sleek vintage 1960s handmade sterling silver and vivid orange enamel modernist Thor's Hammer pendant on neckring necklace designed by Bjorn Sigurd Ostern for the firm of David Andersen in Norway. One of my favorite designs by this company! Sculptural and entirely handmade by skilled artisans at the the David Andersen workshop founded in 1876 in the city now called Oslo. The pendant measures 2-3/8" tall by just over 1.5" wide, and hangs on the original hammered sterling silver neckring also by David Andersen that presently will fit up to a 17" neck (snugly), and is easily adjustable a bit to go up or down a couple sizes as needed. The two items together weigh 23.6 grams total. Marked on both items, "D-A" or "David-Andersen" along with "Norway Sterling 925S", and also marked on the pendant, "INV B.S.O." for designer Bjorn Sigurd Ostern. Excellent vintage condition.

A lovely antique circa 1890-1910 handmade gilt sterling silver and enamel Flowers & Leaves design brooch by the firm of David Andersen of Norway. An openwork nanette-shape at top with an equilateral enameled 'cross' at center, and the surrounding frame is wire-wrapped with bead-tipped points. From this dangle the leaf and flower design sections with further gilt silver bead-tipped conical drops. Altogether a delightful and very colorful design! David Andersen produced their jewelry in both 830 silver and 925 or sterling silver, and the sterling silver was for items meant to be exported to the British and American markets, while the 830 silver as intended for the local market and other Scandinavian and continental European markets. This brooch measures 2.5" tall by 1.5" wide, and weighs 8.2 grams total. Marked with the David Andersen maker mark in use from about 1880 to 1925, and "925" for sterling silver. Once again, the handwork on this brooch is incredible, and the contemporary equivalents do not compare with this antique work! The metalwork is intact and lovely with very little apparent tarnish to the gilding except at back a bit, and the enamelwork is perfect with no loss or damage. Excellent antique condition.

An exquisite antique circa 1880-90 Norwegian 'solje' (sunny) brooch in gold-plated 830 silver with enamel at top. So finely hand wrought in silver filigree with a stylized floral design in the enamel section, and with many dangles that move and sparkle with the movement of the wearer! These brooches were traditionally worn with the national costume of Norway, and are also associated with happy events like weddings. They are often handed down through the generations, and are believed to have an amuletic quality of protection for the wearer. The enamelwork is especially fine, and I am guessing that this piece originated in the David Andersen workshop in what was then called Christiania, now Oslo, the capital of Norway and the city in which the David Andersen workshop was located. David Andersen produced their jewelry in both 830 silver and 925 or sterling silver, and the sterling silver was for items meant to be exported to the British and American markets, while the 830 silver as intended for the local market and other Scandinavian and continental European markets. This brooch measures 3" tall by 2" wide, and weighs 10.9 grams total. Marked "830" at back for 830 silver. As you can see, the enamel plaque was attached to the main body with a gilt silver rivet with a decorative bead-tipped end at front.

A rare antique c. 1900 handmade 830 silver Dragestil Saint George and the Dragon design brooch pin by the firm of David Andersen of Norway. Dragestil was a style peculiar to Norway in the late 19th to early 20th centuries, and features historical religious and mythological subject matter. The design features Saint George on horseback, and you can just make out the head of the dragon behind him in the top left corner of the brooch. The central subject is very rough and no doubt was based upon an ancient relic or architectural fragment found in Norway. The brooch measures a petite 1-1/4" diameter and weighs 15.9 grams total. Marked at back with the earliest David Andersen maker mark in use from 1888 to 1930, also marked "830S" for 830 silver which was the most common standard for silver in Norway at that time. Excellent antique condition.

An intricate vintage 1960s 70s handmade bronze Dragestil revival Norse Mythology pendant necklace by Sigmund Espeland of Norway, and from their Snorre Bronse line of jewelry. Sigmund Espeland AS at Årnes is well-known for their hand-crafted high-quality gold, bronze and silver jewelry. This pendant is an intricate design of intertwined twin serpent-dog creatures that no doubt reference the ancient Norse legend of Jormungandr and Ragnarok. Jörmungandr is the Midgard Serpent (also World Serpent) in Norse mythology who encircles the realm of Midgard (earth). He is the son of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboda and brother of the great wolf Fenrir and Hel, Queen of the Dead. At Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods, he slays and is slain by the god Thor. I'm not sure if there are supposed to be two of this particular legendary creature, or if he just has two heads. In any case, an extremely detailed and attractive design, and hanging on a lovely matching bronze adjustable neckring that will fit most necks. The pendant measures 2" wide by 1.5" tall. As noted above, the neckring is easily adjusted to fit most necks, and presently fits up to about an 18" neck. The pendant is marked as shown, "Snorre Bronse S.E." The neckring is unmarked. Excellent vintage condition.

An antique circa 1900 handmade 830 silver Dragestil Saint George and the Dragon design brooch by Norwegian artisan Henrik Moller (1858-1937) of Trondheim. The Dragestil style is a variant of Arts and Crafts/Art Nouveau, and has elements of Viking and medieval art from Scandinavia. The design references the Christian allegory of Saint George vanquishing the Dragon, with the Dragon representing sin or evil. This story is originally from the 11th century CE, and was widely disseminated throughout the Christian world during the Medieval times. Moller's work is quite rare and hard to find, and this is an especially rare example that I haven't seen before. Measures 1-3/8" diameter, and weighs 0.4 ounce or about 12 grams total. Marked at back as shown, "Trondheim H. Moller 830". Excellent antique condition.
