Orivit - Coffee and tea service (3) - Tin - Orivit, Germany

Magnificent antique Art Nouveau (Modern) style tea and coffee service, made by the famous German manufacturer Orivit around 1900. Founded at the end of the 19th century in Cologne, the Orivit house became one of the leading manufacturers of decorative objects of the Art Nouveau period and gained international recognition for the exceptional quality of its craftsmanship and its refined aesthetics. Today, Orivit pieces are found in museum collections around the world. This elegant set includes three pieces: • Coffee pot — height 21 cm (capacity over 1 L) • Teapot — height 13 cm (capacity about 750 ml) • Sugar bowl — height 9 cm, 13 × 9 cm The service is crafted in silvered pewter and is distinguished by fluid, organic lines characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The spouts of the teapot and coffee pot are shaped like open beaks, while the entire surface is decorated with flexible lines representing tulips. The silvering is not applied to the entire surface, which adds a special aesthetic effect. The teapot and coffee pot bear the hallmark “Orivit” as well as model number 2098, while the sugar bowl bears the hallmark “Orivit” and model number 2100 (a different number, possibly due to an interior gold-plated metal). Overall good condition — some signs of wear and age-related marks. The set is in good condition for its age: no cracks, with a beautiful natural patina and excellent decorative appeal. The interior of all pieces is in good condition. A rare and elegant set that will make a lovely addition to a collection of Art Nouveau-style objects or a refined decorative piece for an interior.
