Antique Art Nouveau WMF Pewter & Green Glass Claret Jug – German, Early 20th Century
An exquisite example of early 20th-century German design, this Antique Claret Jug by WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) epitomizes the flowing elegance of the Art Nouveau period. Featuring a vivid green glass body encased in an organic, sinuous pewter mount, this piece is both sculptural and functional — a rare fusion of artistry and utility.
The jug''s sweeping lines and stylized floral motifs are signature elements of Jugendstil design, with the pewter mount rising dramatically into a flower-form neck and culminating in an expressive handle. The base is equally ornate, with naturalistic curves that frame and elevate the glass vessel.
