Art Nouveau German Tankard Floral Motif Pewter Kayserzinn , Initials , Marks
Located in Valladolid, ES
One of a kind Art Nouveau German floral motif tankard, with engraved initials and floral patterns characteristic of Art Nouveau. Very fine work, circa 1895.. It comes from a Private French collection. A great collectors piece.
The objets Kayserzinn in Pewter are numbered from the fake number " 4000" and with the mark Kayserzinn between 1894-1895
The German Company JP.Kaiser et Sohn AG- kayserzinn had a great success at the world exhibitions in Paris 1900 , Turin 1902 y St Louis 1904
This piece was a private commission at the beginning of the century, as the engraved initials can be seen.
Amazing and beautiful beer mug, called Tankard, made in epeltre by the German metallurgy company Kayserzinn. This piece was a private commission at the beginning of the century, as the engraved initials can be seen. The entire surface is finely decorated with floral motifs, seed beads and harriots. In addition, the mouth of the jug simulates the beak of a duck, something that denotes the love for organic forms in Art Nouveau.
At the bottom of the piece you can see the "KAYSERZINN" brand, a German metallurgy company founded in 1862, very prominent and prestigious in the context of the time. The brand items are numbered from the (fictitious) number 4000 onwards, marked with the word Kayserzinn next to it; just as seen on this tankard. The decorations that the brand developed were inspired by French floral Art Nouvau...

Antique, New and Vintage Natural Specimens
Natural specimens turn things found in nature, such as rocks, crystals and timber, into art. Sometimes these specimens are hand-carved into sculptures. Other times, antique, new and vintage natural specimens themselves are best displayed in their most untouched state. These pieces range from Victorian-era objects to modern-day designs and include everything from sculptures made from animal horns to works in wood, either as sculptures or merely imposing and provocative chunks of driftwood.
Natural specimens serve as compelling decor in any collection or home. Just as any curious decorative object, such as an ancient scientific instrument or taxidermy mount, will draw attention to your carefully curated home library or mantel, natural specimens can spark interesting discussions about life and art. Whether it’s a piece of ancient pottery formed from natural clay, plants sculpted from metal, sculptures of animals or antique stone, they grant a window into all of nature’s wonders.
Natural specimen sculptures can complement many aesthetics. A rare geode makes a stunning centerpiece in a study or living room. Crystals and rock crystal spheres carved in the 1970s add a sense of etherealness and quiet beauty to any space.
Whatever your taste, the selection of antique, new and vintage natural specimens on 1stDibs includes precisely the right piece for your space.
