Found at a market, this magnificent Antique English Art Nouveau Copper Jug is sure to make a statement in any setting. Rich in dramatic detailing, the jug is boldly embossed with gorgeous hallmarks of the Art Nouveau era's highly influential Glasgow Style, bridging the transition from the rugged, earthly Arts & Crafts Movement to the more sculptural feel of Modernism. With stylized curvilinear lines influenced by geometrics and Japanese minimalism while incorporating Scottish baronial roots, this now iconic imagery from Scotland's influential design movement led by Charles Rennie Mackintosh brought a freshness to architecture and embellishment.

Culturally moving the discipline of design forward from the rigid confines of the Victorian age and the stately weight of the Edwardian era, The Glasgow School's organic lines combined with rectilinear geometry were most certainly a direct influence on this most inspired tankard-style pitcher. A dramatic beak-like spout and graceful whiplash handle add luxury to the elongated silhouette. The grand shapes and thoughtful arrangement of each element in relation to the others pull the eye upward, bringing a joyful exuberance to this lovely artisan-crafted jug. With its solid yet luxurious presence, it is sure to become an instant focal point and striking addition to any home.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition. 11"H x 5 diameter at base x 7" at widest point.
