Antique WMF Wurttembergische Metallwaren Fabrik German Art Nouveau Jugendstil Hammered Repousse Brass Handled Basket / Bowl. This piece is of high quality and design. It has been in storage for many years and has not been polished (has original old patina).
The basket features a hammered/textured all over finish with a central repousse floral/leaf design. The raised in relief floral design is on the front and on the back of the basket. The handle is moveable/can fold down). The... handle has a raised in relief "riveted" style design in the center of the handle. The ends of the handle are securely attached and have a raised Art Nouveau design on the ends.
The inside of the bowl appears to have an old silver plate finish which is worn. The bottom of the basket also has wear consistent with the age/use. The outside bottom of the basket has the running ostrich mark (it is the larger ostrich mark measuring approx 7mmX9mm). WMF used this ostrich mark around 1925-1930. There is another mark that looks like a stylized flower (possible a specific designer's mark).
DIMENSIONS: The basket including the handle is 6 1/2" High; the basket/bowl by itself measures 2 3/8" high; the basket is 7 3/4" in diameter and is 1/4" thick; total weight of this piece is approximately 1 lb.
CONDITION: There is wear mainly on the inside of the basket and some on the bottom associated with age/use. There is one small ding (measures just under 1/4") on the bottom edge of the basket near the repousse design on one side. Overall, this a wonderful authentic vintage WMF Secessionist piece for any collection.
