Fruit Bowl Bowl
This is a bowl. It was designed by Josef Hoffmann and manufactured by Wiener Werkstätte and produced by Wiener Werkstätte. We acquired it in 1962. Its medium is silver. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Greatly influenced by early 19th-century German and Austrian neoclassical design, Josef Hoffmann’s bowl mixes classical fluting with a surface showing light- catching hammer marks typical of early 20th-century handwork. Pioneering architect Ely Jacques Kahn gave this bowl to Cooper Hewitt.
This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled Flute song in silver.
This object was donated by Ely Jacques Kahn.
