Could it be Georg Jensen?

Post by Il Codirosso »

Could it be Georg Jensen, from the Blossom series?
If so, why is it marked with Swedish marks? Is it some kind of patent or export?
Thanks in advance to all experts.

Three crowns in oval is the Swedish import mark so the item was imported into Sweden and S means that it’s silver. Are there any other marks? There seems to be something in the middle of the 4th picture but is it just a scratch or a reflection?

Please show the maker's mark and other marks if you believe it to made by Jensen? Like Sasropakis wrote, imported but where from?

The item was examined very carefully. Unfortunately, there is no other marking anymore.

OK, it happens. Anyway, in that case what makes you think it is Jensen?

Very similar to the Blossom series. There is a lot of information about these items on the Internet. I wonder if Georg Jensen ever marked his products or if this was the practice for small items. Maybe someone from this forum is more familiar with this silversmith.
Here is an example of information:
Georg Jensen himself designed the famous ‘Blossom’ pattern flatware. Having spent his formative years practicing the art of silversmithy amid the Art Nouveau movement, Jensen was passionate about marrying form and function with the beauty of nature. This ethos led to the design of the ‘Blossom’ pattern.

Jensen designed the ‘Blossom’ pattern in 1905 for a teapot. However, it was not until 1919 that the ‘Blossom’ flatware was created. The intricate design depicts a flower bud on the verge of blooming that snakes its way up the stem of the piece (fork, spoon, knife, etc…) The ‘Blossom’ design is indicative of Georg Jensen’s fascination with mother nature.

I'm actually not sure what such a thing should be called exactly and what its exact purpose is.
A "small plate"?

Hello
In my opinion, it is not a Jensen object unless marked by Jensen. The Blossom pattern, inspired by Jensen’s work, was copied by many makers. To me this looks more like a wood lily pattern, similar to Blossom.

This could be an individual butter dish, or a spoon rest.
