Featured Help Identifying Dramatic White Porcelain Tea/Coffeepot

Hello everyone!

I'm fairly new to collecting porcelain and can't for the life of me identify the mark or find a similar teapot/coffeepot online. Its very dramatic and seems well-made, but the illegible mark makes me wonder if its fake?

Please see photos and I really appreciate your thoughts!

 

There are similar German marks, but I can't find this specifically.

 

I love it. Victorian meets Art deco !

 

It's a coffee pot, not a teapot.

It looks new to me but...?

 

Your mark reads F A Schumann Moabit Berlin. This site shows the mark was used from 1864-1880. If you put F A Schumann Moabit Berlin into Google you'll find quite a bit of info. Some will be in German.

Here's a clearer version of your mark.

 

Well, I was way off!
(In my defense, the underside looks so clean!)

 

This Berlin museum has 500 pieces in their collection. Coffee pot not included but an interesting browse.

Great design! It is moving towards the linear German Jugendstil.
Linear Jugendstil is highly underrated imo. It is a very German Art Nouveau, which already had designs we associate with Art Deco.

(Linear is my term btw, to differentiate from the floral and whiplash Art Nouveau)

 

When I think of Jugendstil, I always think of geometric design.

 

where did u get it ??

 

I got it at a large estate liquidation in San Rafael, CA tucked in the back. No info came with it.

 

it's powerful !!

 

Thank you so much for this! I'd had a sneaking suspicion it might be earlier and the eagle definitely seemed German.

I also have the sugar for it, but it's unmarked. They are both in Wonderful condition with the exception of a small chip to base of the coffee pot.
