Where do I find an art deco style water jug - Zurich ?

Hi folks,

My brother really loves Art Deco style things and I'd like to find him an art deco style water jug. Anyone have any ideas where in Zurich I'd be able to find something like that? I've tried the Brockenhaus with no luck...

Try the Burkliplatz flea market on Saturdays from early until 4pm ish. There are several stands that might have that kind of thing. plenty of deco stuff of various kinds anyway.

There is a shop in Enge that specialises in Art Deco furniture, maybe they would have one. I don't know the name of the street but if you walk from the Banhof towards the lake you will pass it.

Genuine Art Deco kit is hard to come by. There's a huge industry selling on auction sites such as eBay etc. I'd hazard a guess online would be the best place to seek items.

There's a decent - although pricey - store next door to Paddy Reilly's. The woman there is friendly enough though I wonder how much she shifts; some things have been in that store for years.

Surprisingly the Flea markets are worth a look but be an early riser; most of the fresh stuff is gone by 9am, or they're asking ridiculous prices. Bürkliplatz in Zurich is often 300% more expensive than Helvetiaplatz, so cut your cloth etc.

Reproduction stuff should be easier to find; again, try eBay

Ps, here's something from eBay in Silver, currently at CHF 250:
