Andreas Blau - Plate - Tin - Baroque

Two-piece collection of historic German pewterware. The set combines a rare, dated 18th-century collector’s plate with an elegant branded jug from the early 20th century to create a decorative ensemble.

1. Large Neoclassical presentation platter (1794):

• Dimensions & weight: An impressive 33.5 cm in diameter (large display platter) and a substantial weight of 814 grams.
• Style: Neoclassical / Late Baroque (Zopfstil), with the strict, elegant geometry typical of the period.
• Dating & personalization: Finely engraved on the rim with the name “Johann Andreas Blau” and the year “1794.” The name refers to the historically significant Nuremberg pewterer and entrepreneur family Blau, which played a major role in the pewter trade in the Ore Mountains.
• Pewter marks (hallmarks): Two exceptionally well-preserved Saxon stamps—on the left, the town mark (Zwickau/Ore Mountains area), and on the right, the round Justitia quality mark, guaranteeing high-quality, lead-free fine pewter.
• Condition: Good condition for its age, with a beautiful original patina. It has been resoldered and restored several times over the course of its 232-year history. The reverse has the typical historical turning marks from manufacture, as well as a wire loop professionally soldered on at a later date for hanging.

2. Art Nouveau coffee pot by Eduard Hueck (circa 1900):
• Manufacturer: Made by the world-renowned Eduard Hueck metalware factory in Lüdenscheid, famous for its first-class Art Nouveau pewterware.
• Design: The typical organic forms of German Art Nouveau, with a curved spout, a brass finial on the lid, and the original dark, heat-insulating wooden handle.
Condition: The pot is in visually attractive condition, with a charming patina. Important for collectors to know: The pot’s base plate was historically repaired or replaced in the past.
