Elegant set of four early WMF Art Nouveau drinking-glass holders from the sought-after 284/286 model family. Each piece features: -The slanted WMF diamond hallmark (pre-1903) -The plating mark I/O, indicating WMF’s standard silver-plating thickness used before 1903 -The workshop/series letter B -Distinctive four-petal base, organic flowing handles, and raised floral Jugendstil relief These holders belong to WMF’s earliest Jugendstil production phase, aligning with catalogue models from 1898–1902. The sculptural botanical panels and ribbon-like handles are characteristic of WMF’s transition into full Art Nouveau design. Condition: Excellent condition for age. Silver plating intact with minimal signs of wear. No dents, cracks, or structural distortions. Relief remains sharp and well defined. A well-preserved set, rarely found in this state.
