A large and sculptural double-handled centerpiece bowl in copper metal with an encrusted verdigris patina in dark green by Marie Zimmermann (1879-1972). The bowl comes directly from Zimmermann's estate, was published in her 2012 monograph, and dates to the early 1920s while this noted American metalsmith, designer and jeweler maintained a workshop studio and showroom at the National Arts Club at Gramercy Park in New York.
The large bowl is in very good condition, measuring 16 in. Length (at handles) x 11 in. Width x 6.5 in. Height and is illustrated on page 118, fig. 3.51 in The Jewelry and Metalwork of Marie Zimmermann, 2012. Period photographs from 1926 show that Zimmermann produced this same quaich-form bowl in sterling silver. The bowl and photograph appear on pages 114, fig. 3.45 and page 188, fig. 3.52.
Although created during the Arts and Crafts period, the form is reminiscent of a large-scale "quaich" drinking bowl from Scotland, while the encrusted and deliberately abraded verdigris patina gives the appearance of an excavated artifact from an ancient civilization.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City holds the largest collection of objects by Marie Zimmermann, making their first acquisition in 1922. A variety of her jewelry and metalwork designs are also in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Wolfsonian-Florida International University and the Columbus Museum of Art.
Provenance: The Estate of Marie Zimmermann. less
