Does the Georg Jensen Blossom sterling silver pattern relate to Mexican Blossom sterling patterns?

    I like the Mexican pieces too, and yours is better done than many - might mention those flat 'stems', as well as the petals/leaves, vary quite a bit from 'Blossom/Magnolie', which is a stylized Magnolia bud ('Fuchsia/Klokke' stylized Bellflowers, 'Rose/Liljekonval' stylized Lilies of the Valley). The earlier designs by Jensen and most of his designers were in the 'Skonvirke' style, a movement related to Arts & Crafts, Jugendstil and Art Nouveau, with a definite nod to earlier traditional/historic Nordic design - elements like the voluptuous flora, bold beading, and 3-dimensional blossom finials were not uncommon on Scandinavian holloware of the mid 18th to early 19th centuries.
