Amazing and beautiful beer mug, called Tankard, made in epeltre by the German metallurgy company Kayserzinn. This piece was a private commission at the beginning of the century, as the engraved initials can be seen. The entire surface is finely decorated with floral motifs, seed beads and harriots. In addition, the mouth of the jug simulates the beak of a duck, something that denotes the love for organic forms in Art Nouveau.
At the bottom of the piece you can see the "KAYSERZINN" brand, a German metallurgy company founded in 1862, very prominent and prestigious in the context of the time. The brand items are numbered from the (fictitious) number 4000 onwards, marked with the word Kayserzinn next to it; just as seen on this tankard. The decorations that the brand developed were inspired by French floral Art Nouvau and the linear Jugendstil movement. They dedicated themselves to mass production, aiming to reach a wide audience. For its part, pewter is an alloy of tin, copper, antimony and lead, similar in appearance to silver and malleable.
KAYSERZINN (1862 -1925) German metallurgical company
In 1862 the Kayser family, already based in Düsseldorf in the tin industry, opened a new foundry in the Krefeld district of Bockum. The company reached its maximum size in 1899 with a workforce of 400. The Krefeld foundry headed by Jean Kayser turned to mass production, so the designs originated from Englebert Kayser's Cologne studio.
At world exhibitions in Paris (1900), Turin (1902), Düsseldorf and St. Louis (1904), the company had great success with its "Kayserzinn" or "Kayser Tin", a special lead-free alloy of tin and silver. . It is distinguished by its enduring brilliance, the success it owed to its prominent designers: Karl Geyer (1858-1912), Hermann Fauser (1874-1947), Karl Berghof (1881-1967) and others, but its main designer and artistic director it was Hugo LEVEN(1874-1956), a name that is compared to that of Liberty's chief pewter designer, Archibald KNOX.
The decorations they designed drew inspiration from both floral French Art Nouveau and linear Jugendstil. The goal of the Kayser company, through the use of mass production methods, was to make contemporary Jugenstil objects for artistic use (from candlesticks, ashtrays, lamps, beakers, vases, tea and coffee sets) to be accessible to a wide audience. audience selection. The artistic significance of Kayserzinn died with the death of Engelbert Kayser in 1911.
