Hose_dk Posts: 400 Registered: May 2008	posted 01-01-2009 12:22 PM [26-1777] Here are 3 examples of silver lion heads. They come from danish sugar bowls. Each bowl has 2 heads holding rings. There are 100 years between the last head and the 2 first. Lion 1911 "l�ve maskeron" in danish (don't know the English word for maskeron.) Lion head from sugar bowl Denmark 1911. The second lion is from another 1911 sugar bowl. Also danish. The use of lions holding a ring has a long history. This lion are a real nice and old one. Sugar bowl danish 1812. Its amazing they found their inspiration. 100 years between the two first lion heads and the third one. IP: Logged

silverhunter Posts: 704 Registered: Jul 2007	posted 01-01-2009 05:28 PM Strong characteristic lion heads always interesting to see on silver items.The more silver is decorated, the more beautiful they look and it is also interesting if it is marked by a important silversmith or factory.(but it always is a personal taste).It's nice to see the differences in expression but the lion heads are always strong in it.(I hope I say it well?)There are many cultures which used the lion or lionheads but I don't know which country or culture started with this. For instance there are a lot of national flags with the lion symbolic. The one's at your silver items are realy nice! IP: Logged
