J P Kayser & Son of Krefeld-Bochum, near Düsseldorf, Germany was originally the ‘Leuconide Metalware Factory, founded around 1885. They were tin manufacturers and developed a lead-free pewter with the trade name ‘Kayserzinn’ from 1894 to 1912. Under Jean and Engelbert Kayser, this was used in the making of Jugendstil items designed in Cologne by Hugo Leven and others. They also produced well-made copper and brass items.
