<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 5035, member: 50"]I know that Georg Jensen of Denmark has a sterling silver pattern called Blossom originally designed around 1919. The Jensen pattern appears to be very like this Mexican Blossom pattern though perhaps a little more refined. What I am wondering is if there is a formal connection between the Mexican pattern and the Danish pattern or if it's just a matter of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have several Mexican sterling silver serving pieces consisting of a sauce ladle and a large salad fork and spoon.
