Drawing, Designs for Teapot, Trays and Salt Shaker
This is a Drawing. It was designed by Ilonka Karasz. It is dated ca. 1928 and we acquired it in 2006. Its medium is graphite on tracing paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This drawing documents Karasz’s exploration of early modern forms in her initial concepts for electroplated nickel silver tableware. An array of rounded and conical shapes, Karasz’s designs are likely inspired by the metalwork of Bauhaus designer Marianne Brandt. Her designs for teapots similarly incorporate ebony in the handle and lid.
It is credited Museum purchase from General Acquisitions Endowment Fund.
