Jugendstil Art Nouveau WMF silver plated fruit set – cut-glass serving tazza and 4 dessert bowls
Very impressive early 20th century WMF 5 piece fruit set comprising a large serving tazza and four individual dessert bowls. The bowls rest on silver plated stands with fluted stepped bases. The stems and bases are trimmed with high-relief wheatsheaf borders. The cut-glass bowls are decorated with elegant roundlets around the edges.
Stamped with marks used between c. 1910 and 1925 - the running ostrich is set inside a rhombus with a two-line inscription WMF/G (Geislingen an der Steige) which in turn is placed inside a partly-dashed arch.
Made by WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik), Germany, c. 1910-1925.
