Fruit Bowl Bowl
This is a bowl. It was designed by Josef Hoffmann and manufactured by Wiener Werkstätte and produced by Wiener Werkstätte. It is dated 1917 and 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.
