About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is a silver-plated tea egg, a design by the German designer Christiaan Dell from 1924. The piece is an early and characteristic example of Dell's work, embodying the functional and geometric aesthetic of the Bauhaus movement.
The tea egg is made of silver-plated metal and has a sleek, cylindrical shape with a perforated holder for loose tea. The long, slender handle ends in a flat, round base marked with hallmarks. This design demonstrates the Bauhaus school's focus on the synthesis of art and industrial craftsmanship, elevating everyday objects to a form of applied art.
The object is in good condition, consistent with its age and use. The silver plating has developed an authentic patina that contributes to the historical character of the piece. The construction is solid, and all parts are original.
This tea egg is not only a functional kitchen utensil but also a collector's item for lovers of Bauhaus and design history. It is a subtle and elegant accessory that adds a touch of historical sophistication to any tea moment or display cabinet.
