Style note — products made in the Art Nouveau style are extremely elegant and easily recognisable. The forms that are inspired by the nature, flowing floral decoration and often asymmetrical shapes create an overall graceful composition. Even the everyday most useful items become very elegant works of art.
Facts of Lavish Good to know — silver and silver plated tea and coffee pots get very hot when full, that's why most of them have wooden or plastic handles or small bone rings for heat insulation.
