Luxury Design, Past & Present
This set of 12 Minton service plates is a rare example of Minton's sterling silver overlay. Most silver overlay was made by other porcelain manufacturers and these were surely a custom order. The thick, heavy and profuse silver work, extremely detailed and hand engraved, decorates the clean white blank creating a beautiful contrast. The swirling Art Nouveau pattern defines the elegant frame of the central monogram of "MEJ" and these were retailed by the renowned retailer, Higgins & Seiter, NY, circa 1905. The silver is so thick, each plate weighs almost 1 1/2 lbs.Truly a one-of-a-kind, extraordinary set! c. 1905
