A beautiful mid-century sculptural brass bowl designed in the shape of a hand. Originally conceived as an ashtray, this elegant brass piece is versatile to be used as a jewelry bowl, ring holder or a stylish "vide-poche." A playful and witty design by Walter Bosse, executed by Hertha Baller Austria in the 1950s. Crafted from solid brass, blackened and partly polished it remains in good condition with a beautiful patina that adds to its charm. The underside is marked, confirming its authenticity. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
