Grote WMF Art Nouveau / Jugendstil Schenkkan (1,5L) – Koper & Messing – - Can - copper and brass - Germany, ca. 1903–1910

Description:
An exceptionally large and elegantly designed antique Art Nouveau / Jugendstil pitcher by the renowned German manufacturer WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik). This model was made during the heyday of Jugendstil, circa 1903–1910.
The pitcher is beautifully crafted from a copper body, decorated with two subtle bands featuring raised stylized whiplash and floral motifs. The graceful, organically shaped handle, spout, and lid finial are made of yellow copper (brass), creating a striking two-tone contrast. The lid retains its original, smoothly functioning thumb mechanism.
Marks and identification:
The underside is officially marked with the rare and sought-after WMF ostrich mark (Straussenmarke). The capacity marking “1½” is also deeply stamped into the metal.
Dimensions:
• Height: 35 cm
• Diameter (base): 14 cm

Condition:
In very beautiful, authentic antique condition, with a lovely, characteristic patina. The metal is solid, shows the usual minor signs of age, and is free of major dents or deep scratches. The lid hinge closes and functions properly. Please see the photos for a detailed impression; they form an integral part of the description.

The pitcher will be carefully and professionally packed and shipped by registered mail with Track & Trace.
