GERO - Theo Hooft 1900-1990 - Coffee pot - Nickel-plated brass / alpaca (nickel silver) - Art Deco Bauhaus1920-1930

Original Art Deco Bauhaus Coffee Pot – ca. 1920/1930

Stunning geometric nickel-plated design pot, strongly influenced by the Bauhaus metal workshop

Description:
A beautiful and highly collectible German Art Deco / Bauhaus coffee pot, produced by the renowned Gero in Zeist in the 1920s or early 1930s.
Design & Art Historical Context:
Although many metal objects from this period were produced as anonymous “Werksentwurf” (designs from the factory’s own studio), this particular model is a textbook example of the modernist revolution in European industrial design. The piece is strongly influenced by the radical, geometric design language introduced by iconic designers such as Peter Behrens and Marianne Brandt (Bauhaus Weimar/Dessau).
The design leaves behind all traditional, organic ornamentation and decisively opts for pure functionality and geometric beauty. The pot has a sleek, cylindrical nickel-plated body, adorned with elegant horizontal ribs around the neck and base. This industrial aesthetic forms a beautiful contrast with the bold, angular geometric handle and the clean, architectural spout.
The underside bears the round “TH” stamp together with a model/production number.

• Period: Art Deco / Bauhaus (ca. 1920–1930)
• Material: Nickel-plated brass / alpaca (nickel silver)
Capacity: 1.75 liters
• Condition: The exterior is in absolutely pristine condition. There is truly not a single scratch or dent to be found on the metal. The nickel-plated finish is completely intact and has a beautiful, deep mirror sheen, which is very rare for objects of this age. The pot has been used in the past, however, as is visible on the inside (light patina/signs of use consistent with its age).
A beautiful, standalone modernist statement piece for any high-quality mid-century, Bauhaus, or Art Deco interior collection.

Will be carefully packed and shipped promptly.
