Duhme & Co. Aesthetic Hammered Sunflower Shaped Butter Pats Japanese 1880's (11)

Description

Up for your consideration is a rare set of (11) Duhme & Co. Aesthetic Japanese influenced Butter Pats or maybe Individual Mint Dishes.  Each are in the shape of a stylized hammered flower ( I think Sunflower). The set weighs 293 grams , they are 5/8th inches tall and are 2 5/8ths inches in diameter.  Nicely hammered lobed scolloped rims and ribbed centers add to the interest of this set.  The rims seem to have butlers finish while the centers are a bit brighter.  .  I would
think
that these would date to the 1880's.  They are
monogrammed
in the reverse with S. A. L..  As with Antique items of this age a certain amount of wear due to normal usage should be expected.  I do my best to describe any and all defects and blemishes that may be present.  All in all  a beautiful set that could possible be repurposed as votive holders on your table.  A Very unique set!
