A handmade, tall, copper and brass, lidded jug or pitcher from the early 20th century. Second-hand.
What's for sale?
This is a handmade, copper and brass pitcher from the early 20th century. The handle, spout and finial are brass, the body and lid are copper and lined with tin.
It's tall and elegant with a long, ornate handle and a repeating, scaled pattern on the body and lid. Jugs like this were usually produced as claret jugs and usually with designs of grapes and vines, so this is a little unusual and hence one of our favourites.
Jugendstil refers to the period of German and Austrian design which arose during the 1890s, continuing until the First World War. The name derived from a Munich-based magazine called Die Jugend. The period and style complemented Art Nouveau but has a distinct look of it's own, and can at times be noticeably less flowing and organic than Art Nouveau.
