(lot of 2) Silvered metal bowls, including: (1) Art Nouveau champagne/ wine cooler, attributed to Albert Mayer (German, 1867-1944) for WMF (Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik), naturalistic form, with a melusine seated above a conch shell, with a salamander and aquatic foliage, the base formed as cresting waves, heavy tarnish and possible plate loss, condition of plate unknown, approx 13"h, (1) centerpiece bowl, Meriden Britannia Company, Meriden, Connecticut, shaped bowl, on base formed as an icy rock outcropping with two polar bears, heavy tarnish, scattered losses to plated finish, approx 6.5"h, 12"w, 7.5"d; 11lbs total (for shipping purposes only) **Note: "Art Nouveau Domestic Metalwork from Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik, English Catalogue 1906," Graham Dry, Antique Collectors' Club, 1998, p.xxxvi, pl.24**

3.9.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3006– the cooler is intact as pictured, the bottom shows bright plate, the interior exhibits some pitting and wear commensurate with use, there is a visible seam on the mermaids bent arm which may be inherent to its creation, the second piece is also intact and appears partially clean with some areas, however, there are visible drips/flaking plate or finish loss down the left side, the interior of this piece further shows pitting and wear, I am unsure if either piece will improve with cleaning, state of plate is unknown and lot is sold as is
