Fish knife & fork set, Wien, around 1910 (?)

Postby antoinepiaz » Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:20 am

Hi!

Hi!

Since it's my first post & I didn't see a presentation section, here's my brief intro: I'm French but I live in Argentina. I'm a collector, mainly focusing on the Art Nouveau/Jugendstil era, and also a bit on the Art Deco one & the "Pop" era of the 1960/1970s (indeed very different).

I recently bought this set, in fact two sets in 1 but they were sold as 1 set to me (and the shape of both is very similar).

I have 3 forks & 3 knives by Wolkenstein & Glückselig (Wien, likely around 1910 I guess). I know this company has been working with quite famous designers, and I'm a bit curious to know more about the design.
On one side, it looks like a sturgeon, on the other, maybe a carp (?).

Also, there are 7+7 forks/knives, with a very similar shape. Only mark is "TSJ Maravilla" (I live & bought them in Argentina). This is more than likely the mark of the importer (found this mark on English porcelains as well).
The fish depicted is more allegorical, but it's hard to determine the origin (maybe Austrian too, or German?).

Interesting items, too bad I don't have more!

Curious to see if they ring any bells, I buy for myself (not to resell).

Thanks for watching,

Hi Antoinepiaz,

Welcome to the Forum.

Can you post an image of the "TSJ Maravilla" mark?

Please remember to keep your images to within the 7" (18cm) width guidelines.

Trev.

Noted Trev!

I'll post smaller pictures, will do that now & include the Maravilla mark as well.

Best regards

Antoine

I don't see any Edit button, so here are the smaller pics (will take that rule into account next time!), sorry for the size of the pics above.
