Silver objects from Art Deco & Art Nouveau – elegant collector's items
Sterling silver jug – designed in the 1930s
Elegant silver jug made of 925 sterling silver, 21 cm high, with a precisely fitting lid and a small, finely crafted spout. The spherical, highly polished body emphasizes the clear, modern design.
The angular handle, whose surface is decorated with finely chiseled geometric ornamentation, is particularly striking. This detail creates an exciting contrast to the minimalist form and lends the piece a distinctive, handcrafted character and elegance.
This jug is stamped "925" (sterling silver) and bears a maker's mark with a stylized monogram and the number G71.
Date of origin of the silver jug: Art historical classification
The jug's design and posture follow the functionalist design of the 1930s, which ranges between late Art Deco and the beginnings of modernism.
Its compact body, short spout, and distinctly functional lines reflect the influences of Bauhaus, Wiener Werkstätte, and Scandinavian silver art.
The geometric chiseling of the handle references the ornamental spirit of Art Deco, while the austere clarity of form marks the transition to the modern, functional aesthetic of the postwar period.
Presumably crafted in the mid-20th century based on a design from the 1930s, this piece exemplifies the transition from classical silversmithing tradition to modern formal culture.
A high-quality collector's item and design object, suitable as a fine tableware, design object, or gift for lovers of fine silversmithing.
