The pot is made of EPNS, electroplated nickel silver, and has a sleek polished finish that complements the nautically influenced shape. Measuring 5.75 inches in depth, including the handle, and standing at 7 inches tall, this medium-sized pot is perfect for serving tea to your guests - or just displaying as an objet d'art. The pot features a beautiful silver color and is an original piece, manufactured in Pforzheim Germany in the 1990s.
This Christoph Widmann tea pot is sure to impress. Reminiscent of the Peter Muller-Munk SS NORMANDIE pitcher. Similar to pieces of the 20's and 30's by Georg Jensen, Luc Lanel for Christofle, and Jean Puiforcat. VERY influenced by the modernist 1920's - 1930s sleek style of the streamlined locomotives, automobiles and of course, the great ocean liners of that period. A similar homage can be seen in the Punto Bacola tea set we have currently listed.
CONDITION: Overall quite good - wear commensurate with age and use. The inside is as cleaner than any vintage teapot I've seen. That said, the outside could definitely use a fresh polish. Please also check our other listings! In the coming weeks, we will be offering several other prized 1920's - 1930's Art Deco pieces, including sculptures by ALEXANDRE OULINE, LUCIEN GIBERT, JEAN DE RONCOURT, MAX LE VERRIER, tea/coffee sets from CHRISTOFLE, PUIFORCAT flatware, goblets and cocktail set from Desny, Revere, Lurelle Guild for Kensington, and Chase, modernist paintings, a suite of cubist portraits / lithographs, African and tribal art, as well as a nice selection of furniture - a Machine Age Norman Bel Geddes for Simmons bedroom set, (dressers, bed, vanity / desk), tables and chairs by Wolfgang Hoffmann and Alfons Bach (Royalchrome, Lloyd). Also, a Paul Frankl inspired skyscraper coffee table, and small objects and figurines (Rosenthal, Hertwig Kathutte), as well as a pair of shagreen/ leather screens custom created for the Baccarat Hotel, NYC. We are also in process of posting nearly a dozen men's designer pieces (sunglasses, leather shoes, boots, sneakers, jackets, duffel bags, and sweaters) from Prada, Hermes, Cartier, Dolce and Gabbana and Gucci so if interested, please be certain to check back in the coming days.
