Georg Jensen Sterling Silver Four-Piece Tea & Coffee Service 672

An elegant and rare Georg Jensen sterling silver four-piece tea and coffee service, design #672 by Gundorph Albertus, created during the height of the Danish Art Deco period around 1930. This refined service exemplifies Albertus’ mastery of balancing sculptural simplicity with functional elegance, making it one of the most desirable tea services produced by Georg Jensen.

The service comprises a coffee pot, teapot, covered sugar bowl, and creamer, each beautifully hand-raised in sterling silver with softly rounded, architectural forms. The clean, understated bodies are complemented by finely hand-carved ebony handles and matching ebony finials, creating a striking contrast between the warm organic wood and the cool brilliance of polished sterling silver.

Albertus designed the #672 service with graceful flowing lines and restrained decoration, allowing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Georg Jensen silversmiths to take center stage. Every piece is carefully proportioned, from the elegant curved spouts to the sculptural handles with their subtle ribbed silver mounts. The result is a timeless design that remains as modern today as when it was introduced nearly a century ago.

Produced in relatively limited numbers, complete four-piece services are increasingly difficult to acquire, particularly in matching condition. This set is equally suited for practical use, sophisticated entertaining, or as a significant addition to a collection of important twentieth-century Scandinavian silver.
