MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ORIVIT AND WMF : Amongst other manufacturers of art nouveau objects the German company Orivit of Cologne, founded in 1895, stands out. No other firm produced as many lovely designs in so short a time. The company was founded in 1895 by Ferdinand Hobert Schmitz who had purchased a pre-existing bronze and metal work firm near Cologne , Germany . In 1898 the word Orivit was listed as a trademark referring to a new luxury pewter line and Orivit items won acclaim garnering a gold medal at the Paris World Exposition of 1900 . Both Hermann Gradl and Georges Charles Coudray are known to have designed pieces for Orivit. Theo Blum, Georg Graseggar, Walter Scherf, Vicor Heinrich Seifert, and Johann Christian Kroner are also known to have been associated with the company. Like the art nouveau movement itself the company as it originally existed was shortlived; bankrupt in 1905 the firm was purchased by the larger WMF which continues to produce silver plated objects today. WMF continued to produce objects with the Orivit label perhaps treating the company as a subsidiary or using the "brand" on objects of its own manufacture. Many of the original Orivit items appear to have been produced for several years after the WMF takeover, in some cases as late as 1925.
