This decorative bowl from the 1950s, crafted in the spirit of mid-century modernism, is a testament to Austrian design of the era and echoes the approach of Carl Auböck. Made from copper in a warm, reddish-brown hue with a satin matte finish, the surface displays a refined patina and gentle tonal variations, revealing its artisanal origin. The construction is rooted in minimalist principles: the shallow, wide bowl is supported by three slender, bent copper rods, each ending with small black spheres that serve as subtle visual accents and provide stability. Above the vessel, a gracefully arched handle, also in copper rod and partially wrapped with black cord, introduces textural contrast and recalls the functional solutions of modernist design. The bowl is preserved in excellent condition, showing only slight and even patina and minimal traces of use, without visible damage or loss. The form of this bowl conjures the narrative of the mid-twentieth century, when simplicity was intertwined with an exploration of materials and texture. The satin sheen of copper catches the light softly on its matte surface, as if trapping moments of the day. Every detail, from the black spherical feet to the spiral cord on the handle, articulates the dialogue between craft and functional sense of the period. This object might whisper stories of Viennese workshops and intimate interiors, where functional objects served as design statements. Placed as a decorative accent on a living room table or console in a hallway, the bowl can be paired with other copper or ceramic pieces—its warm coloration set off especially well by raw woods, graphite accessories, or glass. The piece lends itself to restrained modernist interiors but also sits in contrast among curated vintage arrangements, where the interplay of textures and materials brings depth to the composition.
