ABOUT PRODUCTID 21976
This Art Nouveau wine jug, crafted in Germany around 1900, exemplifies the craftsmanship typical of the turn of the 20th century. The body, made of copper in a warm reddish hue, is paired with brass details: a handle with geometric cutouts and a medallion, as well as a domed, hinged lid with a decorative finial. The surface is adorned with raised, stylized floral motifs and flowing lines characteristic of Art Nouveau, set against both smooth and finely hammered metal. The interior is tin-plated, and the jug’s slender, tall silhouette (height 34 cm, diameter 13.5 cm) rests on a flared, stable base, highlighting its functional and ceremonial qualities. Both sides feature a reserved space for a dedication or monogram. The jug is in very good condition, with no visible dents or major scratches and an original, well-preserved patina.This piece tells the story of an era when nature became the muse for applied arts. Flowing, organic lines and botanical motifs reflect the spirit of Art Nouveau and its desire to transform everyday objects into works of art. The interplay of copper and brass creates a dialogue of tones—the warm red of the body set against the golden accents of the handle and lid. The harmonious silhouette seems to invite the ritual of serving wine in settings where every detail is considered.This jug could be displayed on a classic dining table, accompanied by period porcelain or glassware with organic shapes. It would suit a buffet or sideboard in a living room with an eclectic or historicist style, emphasizing an appreciation for turn-of-the-century artistry. Pairing it with textiles featuring Art Nouveau patterns or other metallic accessories would enhance its rich textures and material sheen.
