GEORG HARALD SLOTT-MOLLER – ANTON MICHELSEN – BEAKER, 1898
BEAKER, 1898
Chased and repoussé silver, silver gilt, pearls
Stamped Michelsen / Danish mark / 98 / O M / V W / SG ( for assay master Simon Groth) / H. Slott-Möller / del. / 1898
Height: 16 cm.
Anton Michelsen (1809-77) opened his first shop in Denmark in 1841. For several generations, he was the leading firm of gold and silversmiths, with significant influence on Danish jewelry design during the 19th and early 20th century. A Michelsen was among the first and the last to work in the Old Nordic style.
More widely known as a painter, Harald Sløtt-Moller worked for the Anton Michelsen Silversmithy during the Skønvirke period of design, circa 1880-1920. Skønvirke was the Danish equivalent of the English Arts and Crafts, German Jugendstil and French Art Nouveau movements. Sløtt-Mollers pieces, as evident in the offered lot, were influenced by the Japonisme style which grew in popularity following Japan’s exhibition at the Paris World’s Fair in 1867.
A relatable example of this model is in the permanent collection of the Musée d’Orsay, accession no. OAO 1297, and a teapot by the designer, also in the Japonisme style, is in the collection of the Design Museum, Denmark, accession no. 11a-b/1991.

Height: 74 cm.
“Ce magnifique vase est la réplique de celui qui a été offert officiellement à Camille Cavallier, président-fondateur des Fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson, en 1924. Sur un fond symbolique de blés mûrs au temps de la moisson, quatre médaillons reproduisent dans une dominante rougeoyante qui leur convient, des scènes d’atelier, depuis la mine jusqu’à la forge. Tous ces motifs sculptés finement dans le verre, sont les témoins de la qualité exceptionnelle des graveurs sur verre de cette époque. Leur travail n’était pas exempt d’aléas, et si ce vase n’est qu’une réplique de l’original, quoique terminé, c’est qu’il est légèrement fêlé. Au cours des derniers coups de roue, une crique s’est déclarée inopinèment, rendant nécessaire la reprise à zéro du travail sur une autre pièce en attente, qui ne dut qu’à un tour de force d’être prête à temps. Le principal auteur du travail était le célèbre H. Racadot”. (Notice of Noël Daum in the catalogue of the exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy)

Bibliography
“En Norvège, la note originale est donnée par M. Lerche, qui expose des plats, des vases, des coupes d’une facture très large et très osée, où le décor arrive même parfois à confusion. Mais l’artiste est un chercheur ; des sculptures très nerveusement modelées, des plateaux ou des corbeilles d’étain montrent son activité et son intelligence de l’ornement. Il a même inauguré quelques essais curieux de motifs de décoration céramique, où la fonte de métal s’unit aux incrustations d’émaux”, Alexandre Sandier La Céramique à l’Exposition (de 1900), Art et Décoration, vol. I, 1901, p.54 and p. 55
