WMF 4-dish Lady*
Item Description
Quite beautiful and very Art Nouveau 4-dish lady from WMF. This piece is silver plated and was originally described as a quadruple fruit or sweet dish. The centrally standing maiden’s long, elegant dress fans out at ankle length to form the four equally sized dishes.
Many surviving examples of this piece have been cleaned to excess over the years and have lost much of their fine detail. This one is in excellent condition with plenty of crisp detail still showing, considering it was made around 1900. Approximately 26 cm. high and marked beneath with the maker’s mark.
Lit: Art Nouveau Domestic Metalwork from WMF 1906, p. 342
