WMF - Antique Wine bottle holder - Oxidized Finish - Marked with Ostrich, WMF-G - 1910-1925
An antique wine bottle holder, made by WMF between 1910-1925. The holder is in neoclassical style, decorated with crossed ribbons, a meandering rim and high, narrow arches. The piece has an oxidized finish; it is deliberately produced dark. This makes the bronze-colored details stand out. The dark color also contrasts nicely with glass.
Marked [OX][Ostrich in diamond under arch, with letters WMF G] for WMF Geislingen [I/O] [c]. The Ostrich is an old mark of WMF and known among collectors.
Please note: this piece is deliberately patinated. It is not meant to be polished.
