A striking serving bowl that exemplifies the refined aesthetics of the Vienna Secession movement. Crafted circa 1910 by Dagobert Peche and the Wiener Werkstätte, it showcases a harmonious blend of form and function. The bowl's scalloped rim gracefully undulates, creating a petal-like silhouette that adds visual interest. Its body features an organic, veined pattern reminiscent of natural textures, achieved through a meticulous patination process on the silvered metal surface. The footed base provides stability and elevates the piece, enhancing its presence as a centerpiece. The manufacturer's mark is discreetly located along the rim of the bowl.
Dagobert Peche, a key figure in early 20th-century design, joined the Wiener Werkstätte in 1915 and quickly became one of its most influential members. His work is known for its decorative exuberance, combining organic motifs with playful elegance. Peche’s designs for Wiener Werkstätte reflected a departure from the more geometric simplicity championed by Josef Hoffmann, embracing a more ornate and decorative approach that still upheld the workshop’s commitment to craftsmanship. His contributions to the Vienna Secession and his innovative use of materials and forms helped shape a distinctive Austrian aesthetic that left a lasting impact on European design.
