Description from the seller
Two-handled Jugendstil with spiral band • • Germany • early 20th century
Two-handled German brass pot by Orivit with a pressed decorative band of S-scrolls, spirals and lens-shaped fields, on a wide, flaring body with angular ears. stamped 'ORIVIT 8741'
An Orivit pot in brass with two angular ears, Jugendstil, early 20th century, stamped and numbered 8741. What sets this piece apart: the relief band around the neck, in which between the spirals there are still traces of silver from the layer that once covered the piece. The brass is now exposed and gives a warm, used patina.
In one glance:
Material: brass, silver-plated in the past
Dimensions: height 7.5 cm x width 14 cm (including ears) x diameter 10 cm
Weight: 140 grams
Brand: Orivit, stamped on the underside: shield mark with monogram OAG and ORIVIT, number 8741
Dating: early 20th century, presumably around 1905-1914
Origin: private collection, Western Europe
Description and context:
Broad, flaring body with a rounded lower edge, a neck with a pressed band and two angular, truncated ears. The band shows S-scrolls that end in spirals, with lens-shaped fields between them on a dark oxidized surface. A weight of 140 grams for this size indicates thin-walled sheet metal. Orivit (Orivit A.G., Köln) registered the name in 1898 for its own tin alloy and also worked in copper and brass. In 1900 it won a gold medal in Paris; in 1905 WMF took over and in 1926 it closed down.
Condition:
Good, with signs of use. Silvering: on the outer wall and the ears has disappeared, on the underside and in the hollows of the band still present. Underside: gray-brown residue. Outer wall: a few small red and yellow spots. No dents, tears or loose seams observed. See the pictures. Not intended for use with food.
In the interior:
Fits in a Jugendstil or eclectic interior, on a sideboard, mantel, or cabinet. Under lamp light, the warm brass tone comes through and the band remains dark in the spiral hollows.
Shipping:
Professionally packed in a sturdy box with cushioning material, for fragile objects a double box. Always insured shipping with Track and Trace. See the feedback from previous buyers.
Attribution and sources:
The mark ties this piece to Orivit A.G., Köln. Viennese and French production are ruled out for this mark. A designer has not been established. Model number 8741 is not found in the consulted sources; the dating rests on the style and the brand’s period of existence, not on a documented year. The function, for example as a sugar bowl, has not been established.
