Featured Dominick & Haff, labors of Cupid?

I see most D & H pieces with these characters are described as “labors of cupid”. Would these musicians fit that description also?
Spent an hour polishing, looks so much better.

 

mother of --- , that's pretty !!!!

do u have any elbow left ???

 

Good question Komokwa!!

Anundverkaufen that is a truly beautiful piece!!

 

Thanks komo, wasn’t too bad, I let the polish and cloth do most of the work. Can’t imagine polishing all the nooks & crannies though.

 

Thanks Judy! It’s super thick & heavy considering all that open work/piercing.

 

You did a wonderful job. It's an outstanding piece.

 

He does, but now it squeaks - out of grease!

Wouldn't call these labors, just cupid musicians. But maker could have name for design different from one I would have assigned.

 

I am stunned! Don't tell me you got this at Savers.

 

Don't know whether you saw this on Replacements. Tray matching your piece and they are calling it Labors of Cupid too. Haven't found any flatware with these musicians, but since it was a multi-motif pattern, they might have been reserved for use on fancy servers.

I'm so glad you asked......I must admit I wanted to!!

 

Thanks Bronwen and Bakers!

From the finds thread after Housefuls vase.

Thanks! Nice match!


Just noticed that one is described as hollowware where as mine is solid, base and top.

 

$2.99??? $2.99???????????? Wow.... Just wow! (I may just need to visit a thrift store again... It's been AGES.)**


**edited to add: It's been about a year - exactly!

Holy Cow, this is stunning and your photo is super.

 

In the silver tableware world, anything that is not "flatware" is referred to as "hollowware" whether it is hollow or not.

 

The improvement is unbelievably good!

 

Ya...just like ' swimwear ' could be a micro thong..!!!

 

I thought I had heard that before but wasn’t sure, thanks again!

 

Did the ice bucket too, it’s a big bucket by John Hasselbring, still need to touch up the black.

 

Just got back on the computer and spotted this !! That is MAGNIFICENT anund !! What a great find .. very very nice indeed .. Joy.
