DESCRIPTION
Coffee and tea set. OTTO WOLTER. Germany, ca 1910-1920.
In sterling silver, 800/1000.
With silversmith's marks on each piece.

Weight: 2900 kg.
Measurements: 45 x 30 cm. (tray); 22 cm. high (coffee pot).
Elegant tea and coffee set in German sterling silver, from the house of Otto Wolter. The whole set is "hammered" with stylized rose motifs, which combined with the geometric finishes (faceted bodies, angular handles), results in a unique synthesis between Art Nouveau (and its taste for the floral and natural world) and Art Deco. It thus embodies a transitional style, at a time when Art Deco was just beginning to establish itself.
The Otto Wolter silversmith shop in Schwäbisch Gmünd was founded in 1875 by the engraver and silversmith Otto Wolter and remained in the Wolter family until 1992. The company specialized in the production of silverware in various styles, as well as silver mounts for glassware and porcelain. Otto Wolter's silverware often shows clear references to the ornamental designs of Dagobert Peche and the Wiener Werkstätte or the austere designs of Wolfgang Tümpel and the Bauhaus.
