Hi, I just bought a Duhme & Co. vase. and found an earlier post about Duhme catalogues. I have ordered the two books mentioned but I do have 2 questions that I doubt would be answered by them:
Here are a few pictures. The vase is 10 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" across. From the hallmarks it appears to be circa 1870s to 1890s. Thanks Robert IP: Logged |

A prior post (How do you pronounce DUHME) also discussed this issue. I have always heard do-me from dealers located in that area. In any event Duhme made a beautiful vase. IP: Logged |

This vase is so much of its time...could be by almost any silver maker in the US--and maybe ONLY in the US, because it is a very American form (I'm open to disagreements, but that's my sense of it). I also think that the form doesn't really appear until ca. 1890...and lingers happily until World War I...Vases are purely Gilded Age forms in silver anyway, but this form never quite seems art nouveau, the the tall slender trumpet clearly owes something to European modernism of the '90s...
