The version you see here is made of brass covered with a thin layer of gold. The other version, in silver, was reproduced in the <i>Dekorative Kunst</i> magazine (vol. XXXIV, 1925-6). Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956), who designed it, was a highly influential Viennese architect and designer. \r\n\r\nIn 1903 Hoffmann co-founded the Wiener Werkstätte, the exclusive Viennese workshops inspired by the Guild of Handicraft the English architect and designer C.R. Ashbee had set up in London. The workshops wanted to create good, simple design and new modern forms. They made this piece, with its hammered surface and curvilinear decorative handles, which influenced many silver designs of the 1920s.","physicalDescription":"Gilt metal, the cup shaped bowl gadrooned and flared towards the lip, to the edge of which are attached elaborately scrolling strip handles.
