Wiener Silber Centerpiece Bowl, designed by Oswald Haerdtl in 1930 (Austria)

In the early 1930s, when this bowl was created, Oswald Haerdtl was running Josef Hoffmann's studio. The close collaboration is reflected here, however Haerdtl brings a new dynamic into play: The densely positioned fluted grooves and ridges radiate in a flickering shimmer. Similar fluting is to be found on his 1950s cutlery (Cutlery, Flatware 192). Reissued after an original drawing in our archives.

Comes with a certificate of authenticity.
