Catalogue Note
In addition to the famous Pyramid pattern dinner service, Nielsen also designed a dressing table service with modified Pyramid handles, incorporating the same dolphin motif used on the dinner service's fish platters (Janet and William Drukcer, Georg Jensen, Atglen, Pennsylvania, 2002, F-99).
