ABOUT PRODUCTID 42581
This antique tea and herb infuser, produced by the renowned WMF manufactory in Germany around 1905, exemplifies the utilitarian craftsmanship of the early 20th century. Crafted from white metal plated with silver, it features a subtle, silvery-grey sheen with a gentle, natural patina. The form echoes Art Nouveau influences – the slender, gently tapering handle ends with a geometric, pentagonal openwork detail, while the oval capsule serves as a perforated strainer with evenly spaced round holes. The hinge and clasp mechanism allows for smooth opening and secure closure, and the construction is marked by precision and attention to detail.

The infuser’s form, rooted in the spirit of Art Nouveau, seems to whisper stories of parlors where care for daily objects was as important as their function. Gentle darkening and fine
