This set includes a stunning heavy cut crystal mixer with an Alpacca Silver rim\/strainer and a stunning Alpacca Silver spoon. The pitcher is extremely heavy in weight and simply breath-taking. It has a dramatic\/tall spout. The spoon has a gorgeous scalloped spoon bed, long stem, and small \"muddler\" on the end for muddling mint, etc. The pictures don't do this set justice. It has a magical feel to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little bit about this vintage manufacturer: Wilhelm Wolff was a prominent German metalware and glass manufacturer based in Pforzheim, Germany. Known as Wilhelm Wolff AG, Metallwarenfabrik, the firm was established in 1907 and produced high-quality silver-plated items and barware until the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarks: The spoon's stem as well as the rim of the mixer is hallmarked \"Alpacca\" and a \"W\" inside of a circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Alpacca silver (Alpaca silver) was developed in the 18th century and is a durable mixture of copper, nickel, and zinc. Despite its name, it contains no sterling silver. It is prized for its high-polish. It's also often referred to as German silver and has a long history, tracing its origins all the way back to the Qing Dynasty in China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Very, very good vintage condition.
