Temporary exhibition from 27th March - 3rd October 2010 in Goerlitz, Germany.

Silver from Silesia 1871-1945

The foundation of the German Empire in 1871 led to an economic upturn from which Silesia's gold and silver manufacturers also benefited. This exhibition is the first attempt to display the wide range of articles produced by the many workshops and shops which appeared at that time in Silesian towns. We are grateful for numerous loans from public and private collections in Germany and Poland without which this exhibition would not be possible.

Visitors will be able to admire an impressive variety of coffee and tea services, candelabras, goblets, plates and trays, prizes and military memorabilia, chalices, ciboria and monstrance’s, as well as an array of cutlery, including a surprising amount of individual pieces designed for special purposes and for special occasions.

The exhibition can only be seen in Görlitz and is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with a list of brand names and descriptions of the most important Silesian manufacturers.

The soft bound catalogue includes some black and white, and many colour photographs, detailed descriptions, and measuring of all 120 shown objects.

Rainer Lemor, a very engaged descendant from Julius Lemor, describes there also 13 of the active companies in details of history, and products program. Also he shows 220 maker’s marks and trade marks, with indication of where described, and possible timeframe of use.

Included is there also a list of literature.

If a visit is impossible during exhibition, or e.g. for preparation of a visit, the catalogue (ISBN 978-3-9813510-2-6) could be ordered, price € 19.80 plus postage.

Kind regards silverport

P.S. Sorry that there is maybe a lemon sweet for you: Text is in German and Polish only.
But pictures and marks could be “read”, I think so, from all open minded humans as well.
