The silver is fully assayed for Michelsen 1908, 925 standard. The ceramic is fully marked for Royal Copenhagen, Christian Thomsen (Ch or Th), model 336 – 50.
Anton Michelsen are famous for defining modern Danish silver through their production of the Japanese influenced designs of Thorvald Bindesboll in the c 1896-1902 period, that in turn inspired Georg Jensen’s silver work.
