Ashtray “Österreichischer Lloyd Triest” Josef Hoffmann Wiener Werkstätte ca. 1909
Ashtray “Österreichischer Lloyd Triest”, design by Josef Hoffmann, executed by Wiener Werkstätte, ca. 1909, brass chased decorated in relief, inscription: “Österreichischer Lloyd Triest”, below the emblem “Vorwaerts”
Description
In the course of its history, the Wiener Werkstätte received several commissions to furnish prestigious companies and businesses, including the Fledermaus Cabaret, but also to furnish some of the ships of Austrian Lloyd Trieste. The collaboration began around 1909 and is closely linked to the establishment of a branch of the Wiener Werkstätte in Karlsbad, where travelers also received information about the Trieste Lloyd.
In addition to the washing facilities, individual utilitarian objects such as ashtrays were also produced. One side is adorned by a steamship in full sail, while the other side displays the company logo and name.
