Georg Jensen Salt Spoons

Postby dognose » Thu Jul 24, 2014 9:56 am

Hi,

I'm just trying to date this pair of Georg Jensen salt spoons:

They appear to be of fairly recent manufacture and I haven't previously noted the addition of the 'SILVERSMITHS Ltd.' on their mark before. Does anyone know when this particular mark was introduced?

All thoughts appreciated.

Trev.

I don't own any of the Drucker books on Jensen, have only occasional access, but can't recall if they addressed this mark (perhaps the Silver Fund book mentions it?) - will say that I've run across the mark a few times, mostly online and usually on pieces located in the U.K. No time to poke around right now, but am almost positive that I've seen it combined with mid 20th century British import marks, 'Georg Jensen Ltd.' sponsor...
