History

WMF IKORA was a prestigious line of decorative metalware produced by the renowned German manufacturer Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) from the 1920s through the mid-20th century. The IKORA line featured high-quality silver-plated pieces with distinctive artistic designs, often incorporating Art Deco and modernist influences. Numbered editions were produced for special commemorative pieces, making them more collectible than standard production items. IKORA pieces are highly sought after by collectors of German decorative arts, WMF enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century European metalware. These numbered edition commemorative bowls are particularly valued for their superior craftsmanship, historical significance as products of one of Germany's most important metalware manufacturers, and their dual appeal as both functional serving pieces and decorative art objects. The combination of WMF's reputation for quality and the limited nature of numbered editions makes these pieces especially desirable in the vintage silver-plated collectibles market.
