Dinner Size matte finish Northern Lights by International sterling silver post-war Scandinavian-modern design flatware set, 43 pieces. This pattern was designed by Alfred Kintz, circa 1946.
Relatively unknown but important American silver designer Alfred G.
Kintz began working at International silver around 1910 and retired in
1959. There was an excellent article done on Alfred Kintz: "Alfred G. Kintz: An American Designer" by Patricia
F. Singer, in Silver Magazine, (September/October 1986, pp. 14-19).
Kintz created many important flatware designs including Prelude and
Royal Danish, two of the best selling flatware patterns of the 20th
century. In 1928, he introduced 3 famous Art Deco designs, including an
earlier version of Northern Lights. The later Northern Lights design,
which Kintz patented in 1946, is radically different from its
predecessor. The new design features elements of
Scandinavian Modern ( Georg Jensen) influence that was beginning to be felt in the
United States after the war.
