About the Silversmith – Jakob Grimminger
Jakob Grimminger was an established silversmith active in Schwäbisch Gmünd, one of Germany’s most important centres for silverware production. His workshop is known for clean, modern forms with excellent hand-finishing, often influenced by the design language of the 1920s–1930s Art Deco period.
The G-in-star mark is well documented in German silver directories.
The exceptionally sleek stems, rounded bowls and perfectly balanced proportions reflect the Art Deco ethos: purity of form, functionality, and modernism.
These pieces bridge decorative and functional design, making them suitable for multiple uses.
