Description: This beautiful silverplated tall lidded pokal was made by the German company WMF in early 1900s.
Founded in 1880 by the merger of two existing German companies, the WÜRTTEMBERGISCHE METALWARENFABRIK was, around 1900, the world\'s largest producer and exporter of household metalware, mainly in the JUGENDSTIL style. The company\'s trademark was an Ostrich.
10.000 different items were produced from the teaspoon to enormous table centrepieces and the metal used was mainly pewter with silver plating and use of glass for some items. Widely known by its initials, WMF, the company preferred to create its own designs and so the main proportion of the beautyful creations in Art Nouveau style are from their own Art studio which was directed from 1894 by sculptor and designer Albert Mayer.
This large pokal is made of silverplated white metal called \"britannia\" with long elegant stem, relief-decorated bowl and lid with finial. Very impressive and nicely designed. This style is called Jugendstil and is the German version of Art Nouveau. All the elements - the stem, the shape of the lid and bowl, the relief decor are all parts of a beautiful and stylish design. This is the early Jugendstil style of 1900 - 1905, it resembles more of the French and Belgium Art Nouveau style than minimalistic and elegant look of 1910s.
Marked with the famous \"WMF\" mark, \"as\" for antique silver finish and \"i/o\" for normal thickness.
The pokal is quite tall and impressive - it is 17\" tall, The handle stand 4\" high. It is in a good condition - there are some very normal age-related plate wear - but no damage or repairs.
