Pitcher. Glass, silver-plated metal. Possibly WMF, Germany. Circa 1900.
With contrasting marks (handle).
Pitcher with a clear glass body decorated with geometric elements, a circular base, a globular body and a high cylindrical neck, with a silver-plated metal handle in the shape of a "C" on the top. It has a decoration of architectural and plant elements of a marked classicist and Renaissance character, as well as a protome with the front legs of a horse next to the upper edge of the jug lid. These marks, present on the outer edge of the handle, allow the piece to be linked to the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik or WMF. In 1853, Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers founded a metalworking factory called Straub & Schweizer, which made a name for itself at the London Exhibition in 1862 and opened its first store in Berlin in 1868. In 1880, they merged with Metallwarenfabrik Ritter & Co. to form Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), which is still in business today.
