In the center of the first round decorative plate in Art Nouveau style is depicted the profile of a young woman. The girl's face is surrounded by water lilies, while the entire surface of the object is enhanced by floral decorations.
This is a reproduction of model no. 231 from the WMF catalog "The Art Nouveau Domestic Metalwork" of 1906, p. 169, as can be seen from the photo.
In the center of the second round decorative plate in Art Nouveau style is depicted the profile of a beautiful young lady surrounded by delicious clusters of grapes, while the entire surface of the object is enhanced by floral decorations.

Achille Gamba (1881–1944) was an Italian artist and designer, known mainly for his pewter works in the Art Nouveau style.
He was an artist, specialized in pewter processing, and designer of furnishings and tableware.
His creations are predominantly in the Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines and naturalistic depictions or depictions of female figures.
He produced a variety of objects, including plates, trays, corkscrews, stoups and pocket watch stands.
He was active from the late 19th to the early 20th century, particularly around 1900-1925.
His works are still highly sought after on the antique and art market, often sold at auction as collectible items.
With the two plates an almost unobtainable catalog will also be sent: "Arte Nouveau domestic metalwork. From Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik", editor: Antique collectors, hardcover with dust jacket, edition year: 1998, printed in England, in excellent condition, no. 388 pages.
