Two-piece set of historical German pewter art. The collection pairs a rare, dated 18th-century collector’s plate with an elegant branded coffee pot from the early 20th century, creating a decorative display.

1. Large Classical Presentation Plate (1794):

• Dimensions & Weight: Impressive 33.5 cm diameter (large showpiece plate) and a heavy weight of 814 grams.

2. Jugendstil Coffee Pot by Eduard Hueck (circa 1900):

• Manufacturer: Made by the world-renowned metalware factory Eduard Hueck in Lüdenscheid, famous for first-class Jugendstil pewter work.
• Design: Typical organic form language of German Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) with a curved spout, brass knob on the lid, and the original, heat-insulating dark wooden handle.
• Condition: The pot is in visually pleasing condition with charming patina. For collectors’ reference: The base plate of the pot has historically been repaired or resoldered in the past.
