Description
    One of the avenues chosen by Viennese modernists for the renewal of the arts and crafts based on tradition was to resort to the style of their grandfathers. The simple two and three-dimensional shapes of Austrian Biedermeier style objects (from between 1815 and 1850), the emphasis on techniques that were well suited to the materials used, the quality of the materials themselves, and a certain “tectonic” quality in their construction provided welcome starting points. And in terms of glassmaking, the historical working techniques of Bohemian and Moravian glass foundries experienced a revival. These vases by Carl Schappel and Alfred Walter, made in Haida between 1913 and 1915 after designs from the glassmaking trade school in Steinschönau (today’s Kamenický Šenov, CZE), bear witness to the Bohemian glass industry’s readoption of Biedermeier décors and ornamental techniques during the 20th century’s second decade. (Franz, Rainald)
