Friedrich Spahr Schwåbisch Gmünd Silver Overlay specimen vase

Stock Number: – OWA3320

Date: - Circa 1930s/40

Materials: – Probably Hutschenreuther Porcelain &  Friedrich Spahr Schwåbisch Gmünd silver

Country of Origin: – Germany

Description: –A delightful late Art Deco period German porcelain trumpet shaped specimen vase. The alluring yellow mustard ground is exquisitely decorated with an intricate floral design in thick silver overlay. The silver is further enhanced with detailed engraving. The underside of the base is stamped with the early Spahr 1000 10 mark

Size & Weight: – The vase is 15cm tall, 6cm across the rim and weighs 185g. 

Condition: – The porcelain has no chips, cracks, hairlines, crazing, losses or restoration. The silver is in great order without any losses, Obviously after 80+ years of care there may be very minor surface scratches to the silver following years of love, care & attention as occurs on all silver wares.

Photography: - Please look at the images as they show a true status of this delightful vase. There are some light reflections seen following the photography and are not discolourations to the glaze.

History & Marks:– The silver is stamped Spahr 1000 10 to the underside of the vase. Often we see early examples of Friedrich Spahr’s work with the silver covering the whole base as we see with this example. This makes it a little difficult to identify the maker of the porcelain. However, the important issue for us here is the delightful silver work conducted in Friedrich Spahrs Schwåbisch Gmünd Silver studios.

Declaration:– This is original German porcelain from the time period described. The silver overlay is that from the Schwåbisch Gmünd silver studios of Friedrich Spahr. There has been no restoration or damages.
