An incredible and RARE pair of 1930s Carl Auböck Model 3178 Bronze leaf ashtrays or dishes by Carl Auböck II (1900-1957) for Werkstätte Carl Auböck.
Carl Auböck II (1900-1957) was one of the very few Viennese students who attended the Bauhaus in post-World War I Weimar, and when he returned to the Workshop he brought inspiration from this new design movement. Expert craftsmanship and superior quality materials such as hand-sewn leather, polished bronze, and various woods became the signature of the Bauhaus-inspired Auböck Workshop and many of their whimsical, modernist designs stand out as prescient objets d’art.
Both dishes are marked with an impressed stamped maker's mark. (One is marked "Auböck, Made in Austria," the other is just marked "Made in Austria.") They were purchased from the same Dallas estate.
Measures: 6"w x 3 3/4"d x 1"h
*Sold as a pair.*
