AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

German Art Nouveau centerpiece, with characteristic geometric decorative elements, two handles.
Silver plating in good condition. With flawless original glass insert.
With gift text on the object, from 1910.
Only the mold number remains from the original marking, the object can be identified based on the catalog.

The company was founded in 1894 as "Rheinische Broncegieserei fur Kleinplastiken"​ in Koln-Ehrenfeld, Germany. "Orivit" was initially a trade name (registered in 1898) for the company's proprietary metal alloy - its so called "orivit metal" which when polished would look like silver. This was achieved by removing lead, using a higher percentage of antimony and adding a small amount of silver.
