Silver pieces from Norway, Italy, etc

[Drmad7]

Picked up a couple jewelry bags with actual silver in them as well as the Olsen Viking ship on the shelf for $3.99. When I was buying the bags, the clerk said “There are some more of those silver pieces in those bags. I just went ahead and put them in the bag instead of pricing them.” This clerk tends to notice everything and price it high or send it to the store’s online department!
The salt cellar is Olsen. The little dish is Georg Jensen, the “Asian” dish tests as sterling, but I cannot find anything on the Italy dish. Looks like “Angini Elisa” but searches reveal nothing. Either way, it was a pretty good day.

That's a great haul.

I would think the Italian dish might be from a design by Vittorio Angini of Arezzo. Perhaps the 'Elisa' mark is a range name or represents a second designer who collaborated on the piece.

Angini is probably best known as a painter, but he designed a number of pieces in silver during the late 1900s; mostly miniature musical instruments and whimsical clown figurines... sometimes with Murano glass incorporated into the pieces. He's still alive today I think, but focussing mainly on painting.

I'm not surprised you found nothing on “Angini Elisa”. My WAG is that is the name of a prior owner. Before the '925' are two letters; one appears as an "A" and the other might be an "R". If so, the piece is from Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy and was made no earlier than 1968 when the shape of Italian silversmith's marks were change from a lozenge to that of a polygon.
