Product description
Art Nouveau pewter pitcher with woman and putti design signed Henri Huppé (1855-1911) late 19th century
Here's a pewter jug that represents the organic finesse and artistic daring embodied by the Art Nouveau period. Whether it's a woman as handle, accompanied by two putti in low relief on the body of the jug in a foliate décor, Henri Huppé, a 19th-century sculptor and foundryman who collaborated with the Moreau family of foundries on numerous projects, has captured the essence of this movement, which combines sophistication and imaginative freedom on the theme of the female figure and naturalism to perfection.
Guaranteed pure pewter, this jug has retained a beautiful raw pewter patina. The interior is only slightly marked by use, which can be explained by the great care and attention taken by its former owner, who inherited it from her family. She preferred to admire the coffee pot in the family showcase, and used it on a few occasions as a centerpiece vase, to hold a beautiful bouquet of spring flowers.
Today, this French Art Nouveau marvel is waiting for you! Use it for its primary function as a pourer, or as a secondary vase, or for neither, just to collect it... Take the time to appreciate its thousand details from a time when nature and women were the focus of attention for the greatest artists of that bygone era.
