This pitcher is an approximately 1.5 50 oz beverage carafe manufactured by the famous German company WMF during the 1960s Mid-Century Modern era.
About This 9-Inch Pitcher
The Material: It is crafted from Cromargan®, a high-grade 18/10 stainless steel alloy patented by WMF in 1927. The name blends \"Crom\" (for its high chromium content that protects against rust) and \"Argan\" (for its brilliant, silver-like luster). It is highly acid-resistant, scratch-proof, and designed to never alter the taste of your beverage.
The Design: This minimalist, cylindrical shape with a subtly angled pour spout is highly collectible today among fans of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) barware.
The Handle: The striking, textured black wrapping on the metal handle is made of a coiled plastic cord.
This served a double purpose: it provided an excellent non-slip grip and insulated your hand if the pitcher was filled with boiling hot water or tea.
About the Company: WMF
Deep Roots: WMF stands for Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik. The company was founded way back in 1853 in Geislingen, Germany, by an industrialist named Daniel Straub
.Design Pioneers: WMF didn\'t just make basic kitchenware; they were deeply passionate about art and design. By the early 1900s, they were the world\'s largest producer of household metalware and a leading force in the Art Nouveau movement.
The Modern Era: In the 1950s and 1960s, WMF shifted from ornate, antique styles to sleek, industrial \"Form Meister\" (master of form) designs. They collaborated with elite Bauhaus-trained industrial designers like Wilhelm Wagenfeld to create practical, everyday objects that looked like sculptural art pieces. This pitcher is a direct result of this golden era of German design
