ABOUT PRODUCTID 1632
This porcelain decanter from the Vienna Workshops, dating from 1900–1920, exemplifies Viennese modernism and is attributed to the circle of Hugo Kirsch. Measuring 27 cm in height, it is crafted from white glazed porcelain, accented with evenly applied high-gloss silver details. The geometric form—with elongated proportions, simplified facial features, a narrow waist, and broad base—reflects the early Art Deco influence. The figure-shaped body depicts an aristocratic man in stylized attire, with a signature hat serving as the stopper with a cork insert. The decanter is preserved in excellent condition, with a smooth, reflective surface free from chips, cracks, or signs of wear. This object evokes an era when Vienna stood at the forefront of avant-garde design and refined craftsmanship. The decanter, a silent witness to salon gatherings, combines elegance with geometric discipline—its presence tells the story of a time that valued both experimentation and meticulous execution. The minimalist, almost abstract treatment of detail lends the figure a poised detachment from literal representation, playing with light and symmetry like a 1920s portrait captured in porcelain. It may be displayed on a console table in the living room, where its mirrored silver accents highlight natural light within the space. The piece pairs well with modernist graphics or mirrors with geometric frames, bringing its Art Deco pedigree to the fore. In a classic library setting, it can be combined with art history books or period glassware, curating a sophisticated composition for a collector. On a discreet tray or marble surface, the decanter becomes a reference point for other vintage objects.
