PROVENANCE

---

fun fact:
This two-handled brass cup, designed by Josef Hoffmann in Vienna, shows the influence of a young Dagobert Peche, who brought a more whimsical sensibility to the Wiener Werkstätte when he became the design director in 1916.

digital description:


wall description:
Greatly influenced by German and Austrian neoclassical design from the early 1800s, Josef Hoffmann’s cup mixes classical fluting with a surface showing hammer marks, which catch the light and are typical of early 20th-century handwork.
