German Art Deco Punch Bowl Set
About the Item
Our set by Wilhelm von Eiff (1890–1943) includes a large bowl with frosted and carved horizontal bands with domed lid with silver mount, 17 3/4 by 12 1/2 inches, finial showing a young Hercules wrestling a serpent, ladle with Hercules cameo in .800 silver, signed W.V. Eiff, a glass ladle stand and 18 glasses measuring 3 1/8 by 2 7/8 inches.
Von Eiff is one of the most important German glass designers and engravers of the twentieth century, known for creating honorary and commemorative gifts, shrines, and other commissioned vessels such as vases and cups that commonly featured engraved portraits and figures. His designs are in the collections of the Corning Museum of Glass and Cooper Hewitt.
He attended the Oberrealschule in Göppingen and thereafter completed a four year engraving apprenticeship at the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF). Thereafter he studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris for two years, in Vienna at the Kunstgewerbeschule Wien, and in 1914 he studied metalworks with Paul Haustein at the Kunstgewerbeschule Stuttgart.
After WWII, from 1919 to 1921 he operated his own studio for glass engraving in Stuttgart. From 1921 to 1943 he taught at the Stuttgart School of Applied Arts, specializing in glass and precious stone cutting. From 1928 to 1932 von Eiff was a member of the German Association of Craftsmen, Deutscher Werkbund. In 1928 he became one of the first members of the German Glass Society, Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft (DGG). In 1937 he exhibited at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris where he won the Grand Prix for glass and stone cutting and additional honors for an exhibit of etched windows.
The monograph on von Eiff, Glas ist der Erde Stolz und Glück (Glass is the Pride & Luck of Earth), by Mario Schüly, was published by the Freilbourg Museum, 1989.

- Art Deco Orrefors Mirror from Swedish OceanlinerBy OrreforsLocated in New York, USOur etched glass mirror designed by Simon Gate (1883-1945) for Orrefors is one of two mirrors commissioned for the Swedish oceanliner, M/S Kungsholm, which took its maiden voyage in 1929. It has a rectangular shaped metal frame bordered by 28 shaped glass plaques with double welt caming etched with nude figures, mermaids, tridents and dolphins. Signed in lower right ORREFORS S. GATE 1928. This is one of two mirrors that hung in the vestibule connecting the first-class main lounge and the music room. The whereabouts of the other mirror is not known. The M/S Kungsholm was built in 1928 and had her inaugural voyage when she sailed to the Caribbean for the Swedish American Lines in 1929. The Kungsholm was not the largest of ships, but it was designed and decorated as a showcase for luxurious Art Deco design by the finest of Sweden's artists. Notably, this is one of a very few number of decorative objects from the ship that have survived following its seizure by the U.S. in 1941 for the transport of troops in WWII. The interior of the ship was designed by Carl Bergsten to showcase the very best of Swedish fine and decorative arts to the world.
