Rare Bauhaus ceramic "Zuckerdose" by Uffrecht & Co., Neuhaldensleben — circa 1931, museum-documented model A striking piece of German Bauhaus-era ceramic design. This lidded sugar box (Zuckerdose) was produced by J. Uffrecht & Co., Neuhaldensleben, one of the notable stoneware manufactories of the Haldensleben ceramics district in Saxony-Anhalt. The identical model and hand-painted decor is held in the collection of the Aichi Prefectural Ceramics Museum (Japan), acquired in 1931 (Showa 6) by the Aichi Prefectural Product Exhibition Center — evidence of the international export reach of German industrial ceramic design during this period. The Piece The box sits on a deep petrol-blue glazed base with rounded, architectonic edges — a form language indebted to the Bauhaus vocabulary of clean geometry over ornament. The lid inverts the palette: a crackled ivory-white ground animated by a rhythmic hand-painted pattern of cobalt-blue dashes, dark graphic strokes, and citrus-yellow dots, centered on a sculptural blue tab handle. The interplay of a restrained, monochrome body against a playful, semi-abstract lid decor is characteristic of the experimental glaze and decor work coming out of German stoneware ateliers in the early 1930s, as manufacturers translated Bauhaus and Art Deco ideas into everyday tableware. Dimensions : Height: 5 cm / 2 in - Length: 14.5 cm / 5.7 in - Depth: 8.5 cm / 3.35 in Marks : Stamped "Made in Germany" to the underside, with an impressed form number and hand-inscribed decor number, consistent with the factory's practice of marking form and decor separately. About Uffrecht & Co. Founded by **Jacob Uffrecht** in the mid-19th century, the firm became one of the principal stoneware manufactories of Neuhaldensleben, a town whose economy — like much of the surrounding district — was built substantially around ceramic production. By the early 20th century, Uffrecht had passed to Jacob's descendants, and by the 1930s the firm operated within the orbit of the **Carstens** ceramics group, one of the most significant German pottery conglomerates of the era. Carstens acquired the firm outright in 1936. After WWII, the Neuhaldensleben works passed into East German state hands as VEB Haldensleben, while the Carstens family re-established production in West Germany as the now well-known Carstens Tönnieshof. The Bauhaus Connection Uffrecht's design output in this period is associated with **Hildegard Delius...

A classically elegant Minimalist design and styled ice bucket from the Cylinda series for Laufer Stelton, from the 1964-1967 MoMA collection. Arne Jacobsen Designer (Danish, 1902-1971). Great addition to any bar, wine tasting room or entertaining friends. The Cylinda Line series was awarded the ID-prize in 1967 by The Danish Society of Industrial Design and the International Design Award in 1968 by The American Institute of Interior Designers. It now also has a permanent place at Cooper-Hewitt, NY / MoMa, NY / Victoria & Albert Museum, London making it a truly Classic product. Today, Arne Jacobsen is remembered primarily for his furniture designs. However, he believed he was first and foremost an architect. According to Scott Poole, a professor at Virginia Tech, Arne Jacobsen never used the word 'designer', notoriously disliking it. His way into product design came through his interest in Gesamtkunst and most of his designs which later became famous in their own right were created for architectural projects. One of his first furniture designs was the Paris lounge chair from 1929 which was also displayed as a part of the interior design of his famous “House of the Future". Most of his furniture designs were the result of a cooperation with the furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen with which he initiated a collaboration in 1934 while his lamps and light fixtures were developed with Louis Poulsen. In spite of his success with his chair at the Paris Exhibition in 1925, it was during the 1950s that his interest in furniture design peaked. A major source of inspiration stemmed from the bent plywood designs of Charles and Ray Eames. He was also influenced by the Italian design historian Ernesto Rogers, who had proclaimed that the design of every element was equally important "from the spoon to the city" which harmonized well with his own ideals. In 1951, he created the Ant chair for an extension of the Novo pharmaceutical factory and, in 1955, came the Seven Series. Both matched modern needs perfectly, being light, compact and easily stackable. Two other successful chair designs, the Egg and the Swan, were created for the SAS Royal Hotel which he also designed in 1956. Other designs were made for Stelton, a company founded by his foster son Peter Holmbl. These include the now classic Cylinda Line stainless steel cocktail kit...
