WMF – Set of Six Arts and Crafts Silver Plated Sugar Spoons

This set of six silver-plated sugar spoons by WMF was produced around 1905, during the Arts and Crafts movement (1880–1910) and concurrent Jugendstil period in Germany. Each spoon is designed with a tapering faceted handle and subtle line engraving, combining functional restraint with decorative precision.

The clean geometry and refined detailing reflect WMF’s approach to mass-produced artistry, high-quality silver-plated tableware that balanced the ideals of design reform with industrial innovation. The influence of Continental Jugendstil is evident in the linear stylisation and tactile harmony between form and surface.

These spoons exemplify the German response to the Arts and Crafts ethos, merging practicality, craftsmanship, and aesthetic unity. Their near-unused state preserves both the maker’s technical excellence and the understated beauty of early twentieth-century design.
