The Temperance Basin
Maker unknown, about 1867
Berlin was famous for its cast-iron jewellery and delicate domestic furnishings. This cast-iron dish, which the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) bought at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1867, reproduces an Enderlein version of the Temperance Basin. Made in Berlin, it is identical to an electrotype the Museum bought in 1852 from Elkington in Birmingham. Both are reproduced from the same mid 19th-century copy made in the Louvre, Paris.
