Silver-plate filigree coffee canister with lid and blue insert

About the Item

Vintage silver-plate coffee canister with filigree etchings and elegant cutouts, allowing the vibrant blue plastic insert to show through. Cutout of the word "coffee" is featured twice on this vessel, surrounded by wavy filigree etchings. A ring of symmetrical circular cutouts runs around the top and bottom of this vessel. The bright blue insert is visible through the decorative cutouts. The silver-plate lid with slightly flared black plastic knob fits smoothly on the canister. EP.CNST is stamped on the bottom of this vintage objet, suggesting that the metal is electroplate, created in China, and with a base metal of stainless steel. The canister has no dents or scratches, and the plastic insert is intact with no cracks. The silver-plate shows some patina that could be polished off, especially underneath the vessel, under the lid, and along the seams.

Lidded Canister with Handle, Elaborate Repoussé & Enamel Work, Munich Secession
By Ludwig Karl Maria Vierthaler
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Crafted by Ludwig Vierthaler for the Josef Winhart metalwork company in Munich, this gorgeous and singular lidded canister displays the bravura repoussé work that the artist is known for. Winhart hammered elaborate Secession-style swirls and geometric patterns into the sides and lid of this piece, and enriched the lid with midnight blue and ruddy brown enamels. The entire piece has a subtle hammered finish and a streaky patina that gives the surface great depth of color.
