This mid-century modern sterling silver cream jug from Germany dates to 1960. The piece possesses a polished silver finish and takes a pear-shaped body supported by a fluted foot ring. A curved loop handle projects from the side, while the top terminates in a fluted rim. German crescent and moon silver marks, the 925 standard mark, and the maker mark WTB appear on the metal, which remains free from dings, splits, holes, and repairs. Measuring 10.2 cm tall by 5 cm across at the widest part excluding the handle, this 80-gram item serves practical purposes during afternoon tea service or as part of a coffee display. Placed on a sideboard top, it integrates naturally into contemporary dining rooms and kitchens alongside porcelain tableware and silver serving pieces.

FAQs

Mid-century German silver design is characterised by clean, organic forms, minimal surface decoration, and functional elegance influenced by post-war European design principles.

Sterling silver hollowware is constructed from a standard alloy containing 92.5 percent pure silver combined with copper to enhance structural durability for daily handling.

Authentic items are typically stamped with national standard marks such as a crescent moon and crown, a purity mark like 925 or 800, and a registered makers mark.

The jug can be displayed on a sideboard top, curated drinks tray, or kitchen shelf alongside ceramic tea services and natural timber furniture.

Clean silver gently with a non-abrasive cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding dishwashers and long exposure to acidic liquids to prevent tarnish and corrosion.
