Teapot 1929 - 1930

Josef Hoffmann's "Teapot" (1929-30), crafted in a blend of geometric and organic forms, exemplifies the principles of the Wiener Werkstätte, a Viennese arts and crafts movement he co-founded. The teapot features a square body with a rounded spout and a distinctive arched wooden handle, highlighting the fusion of materials and design aesthetics. The teapot's clean lines and functional design, characteristic of Hoffmann's style, exemplify the Art Deco movement, which emphasized geometric patterns and luxurious materials. The contrasting textures of the polished brass and the warm wood, combined with the teapot's modest size, make it a cherished object of both practical and aesthetic value.
