Tureen

Designer Albin Muller German
 Manufacturer E. Hueck

Not on view

Muller's strange tureen typifies his innovative designs for metalwork. His organic yet abstract aesthetic typifies German turn-of-the-twentieth-century Jugendstil ("youth style") design. Contemporaneous with and related to French and Belgian Art Nouveau, Jugendstil designers replaced the exuberance and naturalism of that work with a comparatively restrained aesthetic that was often almost unrecognizably derived from nature.

Tureen, Albin Muller (German, Dittersbach 1871–1941 Darmstadt), Pewter
