Description from the seller
Rare cheese dish in silver-plated and glass produced at the end of the 19th century by the German manufacturer Quist.
It is a magnificent Art Deco-style cheese dish produced by the renowned German company Quist (Friedrich Wilhelm Quist, Esslingen).
The piece is in generally good condition, with no evident defects.
A brief note: it bears some resemblance to WMF products, known for the Art Nouveau and Art Déco styles, often produced in silver plate. Quist and WMF were both major German companies, specializing in high-quality plated metalware, and they competed in the same market for luxury silver-plated items.
Measurements: 14 x 11.5 cm.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
