Gilt silver plique a jour and cloisonne enamel oyster / hors d'oeuvre cocktail set cased in

original fitted box, made by Marius Hammer, Bergen, Norway late 19th - early 20th century. MINT.



Forks are approx 4 1/4 inches long. Serving spoon is 5 1/8 inch long.

Set consists of 6 2-pronged forks, each with a different floral arrangement in plique a jour

cloisonne and a central serving spoon, (a little like a caddy spoon, but substantially larger),

made of exquisite plique a jour and cloisonne enamel.

The silver is gilded, as can be see in the 'photos and the handles are twisted, the server being

bigger, wider and more substantial than ther forks. The colours of the enamel are stunning and

range from yellow through greens and blues to red. Beautiful unique tiny floral depictions - each

a work of art. The serving spoon is quite outstanding, combining the plique a jour and cloisonne

enamel technique in the bowl and with beautiful enamelling on the end of the twisted and

scrolling handle.

Each piece has impressed 900 silver hallmark, MH and Marius Hammer logo.

Condition is excellent, especially considering the age and delicacy of the items.

Comes in original fitted box. The bottom is lined with velvet and the inside of the lid in silk

with gold lettering M. HAMMER JUVELEER BERGEN (M Hammer, Jeweller, Bergen). Condition of box is

great with silk and velvet in great shape.
