Vienna bronze bird on a leaf inkwell by Bergman. In very good condition (procelain insert is broken with a clean break as shown and will need to be repaired), rubbing in line with age and use and only adds to the charm. Marks on the bird are difficult to read due to the nature of the detailed surface it is very similiar to trying to read hallmarks on a piece of embossed and pierced work. I can make out Geshutzt on both sides with a model number 418?(718-778?), there is a spot that could be a B under one of the Gershutz marks. However, I cannot make out an Urn but then again there is no room. Research has indicated that early pieces were not stamped with the foundry mark, only the word Geshutzt and a model number. I have included some links regarding my research trail.

The figural bird measures 3.25 inches in length,2.5 inches high and 1.75 inches wide.While the leaf measures 9 inches by 6 inches(not including the leaf and weighs 810 gramms.

My understanding is that this is an early Bergman piece most probably from the 1890's with its original(broken) insert fashioned in a strong Art Nouveau fashion.If I have this all wrong let me know and I will amend accordingly.

PLEASE NOTE P&P QUOTED DOES NOT INCLUDE INSURANCE AND THIS WILL BE EXTRA ONCE A FINAL SELLING PRICE HAS BEEN DETERMINED.
