Austrian Modernist Copper Teapot, Werkstätte Hagenauer, Vienna, Mid-20th Century

$425.00

A refined Austrian modernist teapot attributed to the Werkstätte Hagenauer, Vienna, executed in hammered copper with brass spout and lid mount. The form is reduced to a clean, hemispherical body, paired with a delicately tapered spout and wrapped wicker handle—balancing warmth and restraint.

The design reflects Hagenauer’s signature approach to functional objects as sculptural forms, where proportion and material take precedence over ornament. The contrast between the rich copper body and warm brass detailing adds depth, while the hand-wrapped handle introduces a subtle tactile element.

Retains a beautiful, naturally aged patina with visible wear consistent with age, enhancing its character and authenticity.

Austria, circa 1930s–1950s

Dimensions:

5" W x 7" D x 4.5" H
