A SUPERB hammered copper carafe. Incised spiral decorations, repouse geometic designs, brass elongated handle and lid, with a tapering flared shaft that rests on four bent metal feet. This carafe was probably designed by Peter Behrens, Olbrich, or Albin Mueller. Clearly influenced by the Darmstadt School. Ht. 15.75". <p> German Design Reform (1880-1910)
These objects are significant to the history of hand-and machine-made decorative arts, and are generally seen as precursors of Modernism. Beginning in the late 1890s, German artists and architects searched for a new theoretical and stylistic vocabulary appropriate to their own country; work of this period is characterized by the conspicuous intention to create a national vocabulary for modernity. Examples by members of the leading art colonies, workshops, and design associations: the Darmstadt Art Colony, Vereinigte Werkstetten in Munich, and Deutsche Werkbund. (Wolfsonian)
