Georg Jensen Sterling Spoon-Help ID Pattern

Postby silvercrown » Fri Nov 04, 2005 3:53 pm

Try as I might I cannot find this pattern in any of my Georg Jensen resources. The mark is the one used 1933-1944. Does anyone recognize the pattern? Thanks!

This would be a souvenir-type spoon, rather than a pattern line. The design is a version of the city seal or coat of arms of Copenhagen showing the three towers over waves.

This is just a speculation on my side, but Copenhagen celebrated it's 600th annivercery as a capital in 1943, and the spoon could have been made as a commemorative of that. Of course, this was during the German occupation, and I don't know how that would affect any celebration. But I do know that king Valdemar Atterdag made Copenhagen the capital of Denmark in 1343.

It's equally possible that it's just an ordinary souvenir spoon, but I thought you might be interrested to know.
