JOSEPH HEINRICHS SILVER LOBSTER POT w/3D LOBSTER STANDAll I know about this piece is contained in the pictures.
Will add measurements tomorrow
I have spent literally over 100 hours researching on the internet, contacting antique dealers and major auction houses trying to find indormation on this set. Mostly to no avail.
I DID hear back from all three major auction houses wanting me to vonsign this set dor auction & would insure the piece was included in their pre-auction brochures. Only one of the three had a representative whom contacted me with MINIMAL information known on it which was to HER knowledge, there has been ONLY ONE OTHER OF THESE KNOWN TO EXIST AND WAS LISTED/SOLD BY AN AUCTION HOUSE & she did give me the name of the auction house and the winning bid amount of 137 bids ;) . At THAT auction the winning bid was in excess of 00.
I do NOT know if this is solid silver or plated?
I have not brought to have tested
I CAN tell you its HEAVY for the size/feel of it and I collect copper. Neither the pot, lid, or stand seem 2b magnetic at all? When I cleaned the piece, I removed ALL screws and screws are not magnetic. Furthermore, inside the holes where the screws go, I fully expected 2C a copper or bronze material or layer inside the screwholes .... yet. I DIDN'T ? I even used a jewler's loop 2C if I could see another metal that perhaps I could not see w/the naked eye. I cannot
This set has basically driven me NUTS trying to find something ... anything ... on it. I cannot. I would get it tested, but have a disability that hinders getting around to jewelers, etc. Plus, I fear doing a test on the metal might cause damage on this set that is in really MINT condition as far as the metal finish goes. She SPARKLES with a sine that just cannot be appreciated in photographs !
I have MANY Joseph Heinrichs Bronze/Sterling pieces and sets (over 10) and considered keeping, but to be honest, is way too fancy for even me, lol. And I have a good amount of ultra hi end fancy cookware & serving ware 😉. I don't think I would have as much occasion to use this piece as I do so frequently use all my other Heinrichs pieces. This is too beautiful to merely keep in my China Cabinet as it DESERVES to be in a home where it can/will be USED and enjoyed.
Its been difficult for me to ascertain valid information on the set, so pricing has also been a challenge. However, as stated, having a good share of MANY Heinrichs pieces and sets, and many I paid a few thousand for, I KNOW BEYOND A DOUBT this set is uber rare and very valuable! I've never seen this listed before in the MANY YEARS I personally have searched eBay and similar forums for Heinrichs pieces ..... nless it was listed and sold within a short time frame where I may have been ill.or on vacation and just missed seeing it?
Will add exact measurements and weight tmrw if possible. Otherwise, look carefully at the pictures and feel free so ask me any questions which I might be able to answer that pics cannot.
I will ship FREE within 2 days of receiving payment, insured and signature required.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful time here buyers and sellers alike 😁
