925 Sterling Silver Cocktail Set, Swedish Silversmith Borgila, 1969

Solid 925 silver cocktail set, Swedish silversmith Borgila, 1969 Elegant modernist cocktail set in solid 925 silver, made in 1969 by the Swedish silversmith Borgila. It consists of a slender pouring carafe, twelve straight and smooth tumblers, and a matching mixing spoon, all decorated with an engraving of the Swedish royal coat of arms representing the three crowns. The fluid and structured silhouette of the carafe, with its slightly curved flat sides and discreet pouring spout, embodies the aesthetic of Scandinavian design of the late 1960s. Each 5 cm high tumbler is engraved with the symbol of the three crowns, as is the carafe, giving the set a formal coherence and a possible affiliation with a diplomatic service or a court gift. The set bears the hallmarks of the silversmith Borgila, the mention “STERLING”, as well as the date letter “T9” corresponding to the year 1969. It testifies to refined work and an elegant sobriety specific to the Nordic modernism of this period.
