FOUR GERMAN SILVER HOLLOWARE ARTICLES by Emmy Roth, circa 1930 Comprising two sterling silver charger and an 800 silver creamer and sugar. diameter of plates 11in (28cm); total silver weight approximately 37oz troy. Footnotes: German Jewish silversmith Emmy Roth (1885-1942) was an exemplary figure in early 20th century metalwork. Gender standards were still rigid in the early twentieth century; many women denied from art academies and pigeon-holed into more 'feminine' art forms such as textiles and ceramics. Roth surpassed confines and was admitted to a gold and silver apprenticeship at Conrad Anton Beumers in Düsseldorf, anointing her one of the few early trained women in modern Germany. Roth's designs featured sleek lines and contemporary forms. She established a workshop and showroom in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin. Her wares were often exported, and she even had access to sterling silver, which was not common for Germany at the time, where 800 silver was the standard. Roth balanced clean elegance and utilitarianism, as embodied in these table articles.
