WMF (formerly known as Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) is a German tableware manufacturer, founded in 1853 in Geislingen an der Steige. The company grew over the course of the 1860s and 1870s, and in 1880 it merged with another metalworking company, Ritter & Co., to form WMF. It was from this point that WMF started to specialise in producing tableware and silver. The greatest stylistic influence on WMF’s products was the popular Art Nouveau style (known in German as Jugendstil) with its curved lines and natural forms.
