AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set "Arlecchino" composed of 6 coffee/demitasse teaspoons + 1 sugar spoon, in solid vermeil over sterling silver, Guilloché enamel, a timeless classic of mid-20th-century Scandinavian modernist design.
The set was executed in Copenhagen by the renowned Egon Lauridsen manufactory (factory mark ELa), active between 1936 and 1966, famed for the exceedingly high quality of its glossy enamel finishes on precious metals.
Main features and Artistic Details:
• Premium Material: Made in solid sterling silver, 925 fineness (stamped 925 S), entirely enriched with a bright and warm thick vermeil gold coating on both front and back.
• Guilloché Craft: The teaspoon bowls feature a magnificent radiating geometric sunburst pattern, while the twisted handles terminate with elegant coordinated finials. The translucent glass enamel applied over the engravings catches the light, creating changing reflections.
• "Arlecchino" Combination: Each piece boasts a unique, vivid color. The color palette of this specific set includes 7 distinct variants: royal blue, optical white, turquoise blue, deep blue, ruby red, golden yellow, and emerald green.
• Lot status: In exceptional condition, comparable to New Old Stock.
• Sealed pieces: Each of the 7 teaspoons is still housed inside its original sealed plastic protective film. They have never been removed from the cellophane, which guarantees the absolute integrity of the guilloché enamel, zero wear scratches, and an intact, brilliant vermeil finish, perfectly protected from oxidation and time.
• Case: The set includes its original presentation box with cream-colored molded interiors and a burgundy/red exterior finish, in excellent vintage condition.
