Its function was to heat the tea urn to provide a supply of hot water to top up the teapot. The use of luxury materials, the faceted sides, and geometric chunky handles are all features of the Art Deco style that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s.\r\n\r\nThe designer, Otto Prutscher (1880-1949), was a Viennese architect and a talented and versatile designer. From 1907 he produced numerous designs for glassware, textiles, furnishings, bookbindings, metalwork, silver and jewellery for the Wiener Werkstätte. These exclusive Viennese workshops were co-founded by the architect and designer Josef Hoffmann whose influence on his own designs Prutscher always acknowledged.","physicalDescription":"Silver and ivory tea and coffee service.

Otto Prutscher started his training in Vienna at the Fachschule für Holzindustrie (a woodworking college) before studying architecture from 1897 to 1901 under Josef Hoffman at the Kunstgewerbeschule.  After graduating he worked as an independent architect for several years designing several interiors and exhibiting his designs at the Paris 1900 exhibition and the 1902 Turin exhibition.  He also taught drawing at the Graphics Institute in Vienna from 1903 until 1909, when he was appointed Professor of Drawing at the Kunstgewerbeschule.   From 1907, he produced numerous designs for the Wiener Werkstätte for glassware, textiles, furnishings, bookbindings, metalwork, silver and jewellery.  He also designed glassware for Loetz and furniture for Thonet as well as maintaining his architectural practice.  He became involved in Vienna's municipal building program and in 1919 he was appointed one of the municipal inspectors for vocational training.  After the Anschluss in 1938, the Nazis dismissed him from his post at the Kunstgewerbeschule and he was not reinstated until after the war.  Prutscher always acknowledged that his designs owed a considerable debt to Josef Hoffman.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Lid for burner,from tea and coffee service, silver and ivory, Vienna, ca.1920, mark of J.C Klinkosch, designed by Otto Prutscher.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Tea and coffee service\r\nSilver, parcel gilt and ivory\r\nDesigned by Otto Prutscher and made by J.C.
