We are delighted to offer for sale this large pair of Jugendstil Vases in Copper and Brass, which are, in all probability, German. They are unmarked, but owe a lot to the Jugendstil/WMF tradition. We did wonder whether, as WMF used the ostrich as its mark, whether they were by that company, or another using their ostrich motif.

The copper bodies of the vases have been gently planished with a decorative embossed section at the bottom on the front and back, with the top rim, and both of the wonderfully stylised ostrich handles, in brass.

In 1896 in Munich was a magazine created by Georg Hirth called 'Die Jugend' of The Youth, which sought to bring out a new style from artists and architects and so Jugendstil or Style of the Youth was born. This happened in Germany and Austria, at a time when the Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts movements were springing up in other countries in Europe.
