R 941.00
A small copper dish from the Jugendstil period, manufactured by the renowned metalware factory Carl Deffner in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany.
Around 1900, Carl Deffner was among the German manufacturers of high-quality decorative metalware. This piece has a strikingly simple, almost entirely smooth design, highlighting the warm colour and natural patina of the copper.
The underside bears Carl Deffner's characteristic factory mark within a shield. The dish dates from the early 20th century and is a compact example of German metal production from the Jugendstil period.
