Art Nouveau Hammered Pewter Coffee & Sugar Canister Set with Cobalt Blue Glass

Description

A stunning pair of Art Nouveau hammered pewter kitchen canisters featuring pierced lattice banding and cobalt blue glass inner liners that glow beautifully through the decorative cutwork. Each canister is topped with a domed lid finished with a ball finial, and sits on a flared footed base — hallmarks of the refined craftsmanship popular in the late 19th to early 20th century Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements. The labels 'COFFEE' and 'SUGAR' are rendered in a bold, Gothic-style stenciled cutout font, allowing the deep cobalt blue glass to serve as a dramatic backdrop — a clever and elegant design detail that makes these canisters as visually striking today as when they were made. The hammered texture across the pewter body adds warmth and handcrafted character consistent with period metalwork traditions. Sets like these were prized fixtures in well-appointed Edwardian and early 20th century kitchens and are now highly sought by collectors of antique kitchenware, pewterware, cobalt glass, and Art Nouveau decorative arts. A rare opportunity to acquire a matched pair in a cohesive style.
