AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning and extremely rare square Art Deco porcelain teapot coaster (trivet) for the renowned German manufacturer Gebrüder Mehner (Altwasser, Silesia). Made in the early 1920s.
This object is an iconic example of early Dutch modernism and the clean, geometric Art Deco movement. The porcelain tile is decorated with the sought-after Decor 1647: a refined, symmetrical pattern in dark green and gold on a white-glazed background. The tile is housed in the original, openwork metal (nickel-plated) rim featuring a characteristic geometric zigzag motif.
On the underside is the authentic blue factory stamp: "Dec. 1647", which definitively guarantees the provenance and the specific design.
Condition: The object is in excellent, nearly perfect antique condition. No chips, no hairlines, and no restorations to the porcelain. The metal rim closes perfectly and shows only minimal, age-related signs (no heavy rust damage or dents), which is very unique for items from this period.
