Urania Holland
Urania was founded in Maastricht in 1903 by Hubert Regout, a grandson of Petrus
Regout. It was a clear copy of the Kaiser tin from the German Jugendstil or
Art Nouveau movement, made by JP Kayser & Sohn, among others. After 7 years, the demand
for this style had already passed, so the factory had to close. In that time there are
probably about 400 different items made, almost all of tin.
There are 2 known designers: Friedrich Adler (1878-1942) and Hans Peter (1856-1945),
both Germans who were bought away from similar factories.
