About the Item

Early 20th century Art Déco/Jugendstil golden metal tankard by Kayserzinn, Germany By: Kayserzinn Material: metal, copper, zinc, brass Technique: cast, molded, polished, gilt, metalwork Dimensions: 10.5 in x 18 in Date: early 20th century, circa 1920 Style: Art Déco, Jugendstil Place of origin: Germany A remarkable early 20th-century tankard crafted by Kayserzinn in Germany. This piece shows the transitional aesthetic between Art Déco and Jugendstil, showcasing an innovative combination of geometric lines and fluid, ornamental details. The golden metal surface, achieved through meticulous polishing and gilding techniques, highlights its sculptural design, while the harmonious interplay of different metals underscores its material sophistication. The handle's decorative relief work and subtle curvature add to its functional yet artistic character, reflecting the mastery of early 20th-century German metalwork. Kayserzinn, renowned for its exceptional Jugendstil pewter creations, operated in Krefeld from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, setting standards for artistry and innovation in metal design. This tankard is a testament to their legacy of combining technical expertise with aesthetic refinement. The lot shows signs of wear due to use and the passage of time, as can be seen in the images.
