Copper Dish – Carl Deffner Esslingen – c. 1900–1920
An authentic Art Nouveau copper dish crafted by Carl Deffner in Esslingen, Germany, around 1900–1920.
Its form is simple and functional, typical of early industrial metal production from the Art Nouveau period. The warm copper color and natural patina give the piece a deep, lived-in appearance that only develops after over a century of aging.
On the underside, there is Carl Deffner's characteristic shield mark. This places the object within the German Art Nouveau tradition of the early 20th century.
Its compact size makes it suitable as a collector's item, a small presentation dish, or a subtle historical accent in an interior.
