Jam or honey pot with tray, spoon and ladle

1887

Silver, parcel gilt and partly patinated, rose gold | 788 g (Weight) (whole object) | RCIN 13153

This German set mimics the colour and texture of Japanese metalwork, displaying a subtle range of hues rather than a shiny surface. Rose gold alloys and careful patination have created a colourful appearance on a matt ground. Bird and insect motifs resemble the decorative devices on Japanese sword guards.
