Imperial Zinn Pewter Platter Grouse This ornate pewter platter was made by the German metal ware company B & G, which was in business from 1899 - 1910. Kaufmann Wilhelm Gobbers and Peter Bitter (hence the B & G)) marked their wares with the words "Imperial Zinn" and/or B&G.

This huge platter would have been used to serve game, and it measures 20 1/2" long by 11 1/8" wide. Fabulous pinecone motifs throughout, a highly detailed game bird in the center, and of course the ubiquitous Art Nouveau flourish at the top! Low gloss pewter, showing some heavy wear and knife marks. A beautifully designed and fairly rare piece of Art Nouveau metalwork. (#T-2103)

Farberware Chrome Coffee Service An outstanding retro 4 piece chrome coffee service made by Farberware of Brooklyn, New York! Comes with a serving tray, creamer, sugar, and coffee pot. The set was never used, and the electric coffee pot still has the original paper label covering the interior basket, and the cord is still wound in the original pattern.

You remember how to percolate coffee, and how great that tastes?!! The tray, which does have some scratching, measures about 16 1/4" from handle to handle. The coffee pot has a nice lightly impressed wreath garland pattern - minor wear to the bowl under this (see photo). Displays beautifully! (#T1765)

Brass Fishmongers Horn Neat conversation piece! This brass fishmongers horn stands about 14" high - the bottom diameter is 4". The top piece unscrews to reveal a duck bill type mouth piece. There's a dent in the brass about halfway up, and fairly even shallow pitting on the whole piece, the cap also has a small dent. Yes - it makes a great noise! (#T-1153)

Champleve Vase This bronze and enamel champleve vase is done in the Arts & Crafts Movement style. There are three oak leaves going around the vase, each connected to a heavy line from above. Coming off the sides of each leaf is a vine type decoration - which leads to a design of three seed pods. The body of the vase is heavily impressed with a bark like motif. Measures 8 3/4" tall; the foot has a diameter of 3 1/8". Unmarked, the enameling in the rust colored leaf is very worn, and there is minor wear to the other two leaves.
