Product description
This object is an authentic bolasbak, manufactured by Quist in the sixties. The piece is a striking example of Space Age design, characterized by its geometric shapes and the use of modern materials.
The design consists of two parts: a heavy glass sphere and a chrome-plated metal holder. The sphere is executed in a deep blue-green, petrol-like color that catches and reflects the light. The minimalist holder complements the spherical shape and provides stability, while the glass sphere itself can be removed for cleaning. This functional and aesthetic design is typical of German design from the mid-20th century.
The item is in good vintage condition, consistent with its age and use. The original luster of both the glass and the chrome has largely been preserved, contributing to the authentic character of the object. It is a complete two-piece item.
As can be seen in the photo, the glass sphere has damage (chipped) on the rim and a 'burn mark' from a cigarette.
