ABOUT PRODUCTID 11687
This WMF teapot from early 20th-century Germany exemplifies Art Nouveau craftsmanship in silver-plated brass. The body features an organically flared silhouette with a smooth, matte silver finish and a pronounced, rounded base. A rhythmic band of fine, horizontal grooves encircles the upper section, while the elongated, slender spout and angular, geometric handle—both with delicate linear engraving—reinforce the design’s architectural clarity. The conical lid finial echoes geometric motifs, bringing cohesion to the piece. The surface displays a medium-dark, silvery patina with natural tarnish and areas of wear, revealing brass beneath in places of more frequent use. Visible rivets at the handle attest to robust construction and high-quality workmanship. The condition is good, with surface scratches, minor abrasions, and tarnishing typical of age and use, but no significant damage.In its presence, the teapot echoes the early 20th century—a time when Art Nouveau broke with tradition and WMF, as a leading German manufacturer, set new standards in refined metalwork. The gently undulating silhouette and rhythmic grooves evoke a desire for harmony with nature, while the matte silver surface hints at stories of gatherings where function met artistic craftsmanship. Each mark and area of wear is a record of history: the teapot carries the memory of past conversations and moments when everyday rituals were imbued with a touch of sophistication.This teapot may be paired with classic porcelain with subtle ornamentation or with geometric glassware to highlight its Art Nouveau origins. It would be well placed on a living room console alongside silver trays, crystal stemware, or minimalist vases, where the matte finish contrasts with lustrous materials. In eclectic,
