Orivit Pewter Seafood Bowls

A set of six scarce antique German Art Nouveau pewter seafood bowls by Orivit.  The rim of each plate is surrounded with relief molded fish swimming in a natural habit among shells and marine fauna.  Impressive set for dining or display.



Marked Orivit Germany on underside

Measuring

8 1/8 inches in diameter


Very good original preowned condition with aged patina.  One bowl shows wear to the center and the finish on two of the six bowls is not as high as the others, but it's possible that they may be polished to a higher gloss. 

The Orivit company was founded in 1894 and "Orivit" was initially a trade name for the company's proprietary metal which when polished would look like silver. This was achieved by removing lead and adding a small amount of silver. Their leading designs won them recognition at the Paris (1900) and St Louis (1904) World Exhibitions.  The designers of ORIVIT were: 

Theo Blum
Georges Charles Couldray
Hermann Gradl(1883-1964)
Georg Grasegger
Johann Cristian Kroner (1838-1911)
Walter Scherf (1875-1909)
Victor Heinrich Seifert
