Unusually Fabulous WMF Secessionist Brass and Enamel Bowl on Stand

$185.00

What a very striking and unusual piece, you may even think a little science fiction like. I was instantly drawn to it because it looks and feels so ahead, despite its age. And it is old. Created in the early 20th century, it captures a moment when designers were deliberately moving away from tradition and exploring new forms. Very Art Nouveau.

This is a Secessionist bowl by German maker WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik), with a warm brass body and deep cobalt-blue and white enamel decoration. The bowl sits on an particularly decorative and unusual openwork metal stand, giving it both presence and lift.

For lovers of the unusual, this wonderful piece is one for the collection.

  • Good vintage condition overall. The brass shows age-appropriate patina, consistent with an authentic early piece.

    There are small areas of enamel loss, primarily to the top blue band, with additional marks to one of the circular designs. The remaining enamel decoration is vibrant and intact.

    Any minor surface marks are consistent with age and contribute to the character of the piece.

  • This is a sculptural statement piece that works beautifully when given space to be seen. It brings depth, history and strong design presence to any interior, not to mention curiosity and conversation.
