Rare Georg Jensen, sterling silver 4-piece tea and coffee set, all beautifully hand hammered, with exquisite natural motifs and elegant proportions, designed by Georg Jensen circa 1910/1920, consisting of:

- a coffee pot, measuring 10 3/4'' in height with the lid by 10 3/8'' from handle to spout, with a dark wood handle

- a tea pot, measuring 9 3/4'' in height with the lid by 8 3/4'' from handle to spout, with a dark wood handle

- a creamer, measuring 4 7/8'' in height by 8 1/8'' from handle to spout

- a two-handled sugar bowl, measuring 3 3/8'' in height by 7'' from handle to handle

Total weight is 79.2 troy ounces, and each bear hallmarks and pattern numbers (three of the pieces are in pattern 71B, the creamer is in pattern 177) as shown. The creamer is from 1925 to 1932 while other pieces are from circa 1945 to 1952, which places the set towards the beginning of the Georg Jensen silversmithing enterprise. 

This set is illustrated in authoritative books on Jensen, for instance on page 219 of "Georg Jensen A Tradition of Splendid Silver" by Janet Drucker, and as number 2 on page 74 in "Georg Jensen Holloware The Silver Fund Collection" by David Taylor and Jason Laskey. 

Danish silversmith George Jensen set up his own silver business in 1904 in Copenhagen. Jensen's training in metalsmithing -- along with his education in the fine arts -- allowed him to combine the two disciplines and revive the tradition of the artist craftsman. Soon, the beauty and quality of his creations caught the eye of the public and his success was assured. The Copenhagen quarters were soon greatly expanded. Before the end of the 1920s, Jensen had opened retail shops in Berlin (1909), London (1921), and New York (1924).
