For your consideration is this authentic 19 th Century German Art Nouveau / Secessionist Jugendstil Wine Claret - Decanter - Pitcher - Jug in Fine Collectors Condition. This is truly a very nice heirloom quality piece of superior artistic craftsmanship. The pitcher was attributed to the renown Austrian artist and designer Joseph M Olbrich at the estate sale of a private colector in Savannah, GA. Marked to the bottom - we beleive this is Olbrich's mark.
