Antique Art Nouveau Jugendstil Pewter Basket/Candy Bowl Kayserzinn #4415 Hugo Leven c.1904 Description: This beautiful basket is designed in very a stylish manner - the signature characteristic of Jugendstil or German ...interpretation of Art Nouveau. It was crafted by Kayserzinn - the most famous German Jugendstil pewter objects manufacturer. At the world exhibitions in Paris (1900), Turin (1902), Dusseldorf and St.Louis (1904), the company enjoyed great success with its "Kayserzinn" or "Kayser pewter", a special lead-free alloy of tin and silver distinguished by its lasting gleam - success which it owed to its outstanding designers: Karl Geyer (1858-1912), Hermann Fauser(1874-1947), Karl Berghof(1881-1967) and others, but their main designer and artistic director was Hugo LEVEN (1874-1956), a name to be compared with that of Liberty's main pewter designer, Archibald KNOX.
It was the Kayser company's aim, through its use of the methods of mass production, to make artistically designed, contemporary stylish objects of daily use (such as candlesticks, ashtrays, lamps, beakers, vases, tea and coffee sets) accessible to a broad selection of the public. This elegant bowl made in form of a basket with a handle was the creation of Hugo Leven - one the most famous and influential of Jugendstil designers. The design is well known - it was created in 1904. The mark at the bottom reads "Kayserzinn 4415". The holder is in great condition, there are very minor dings and scratches unavoidable with pewter and needs some cleaning. There is no breaks, tears, losses or repairs. It is 6" long, 5" tall. The handle is engraved with a presentation inscription: " Gruss aus Bad-Ailibling" - "Greetings from Bad-Ailibling". Bad-Ailibling is a famous spa town in Bavaria, Germany.. Please note - this is the original object of art from early 1900. I guarantee my dating and description.
