1930s Hoffmann Glass Trinket Dishes - with makers mark
This selection of five authentic marked Hoffmann dishes have very small chips. You will see from the photographs the varying degrees of damage but they are still charming and very special pieces. Priced individually.
These little glass dishes are an absolute joy. They’re the colours of boiled sweets and precious gems and have all kinds of uses. I use mine for salt and pepper and I also have a yellow one by my bed for my rings and hair slides and whatever else I just want to keep in one place. They can be used for buttons and coins and just about any small things which deserve a pretty dish. They catch the light so beautifully and make a very thoughtful gift. A great one for Valentines!
I have a handful of 1930s Heinrich Hoffmann dishes which are very special indeed. All those I’m listing have the visible makers mark of the small open winged butterfly.
Dimensions : 7cm x 5cm
Here’s a little more information about Hoffmann who was a contemporary of Lalique and a true innovator. Just his choice of colours alone is good enough for me!
“Heinrich Hoffman (1875-1939) was a master craftsman as well as an innovator in the art of glass making. At the turn of the century, he had an atelier in Paris where he created designs and manufactured molds for glass. These molds were transported to Czechoslovakia (then called Bohemia), to the factory managed by his wife, Josephine, where the actual glass objects were produced. Hoffman was a contemporary of René Lalique, and both began working within the stylistic framework of the Art Nouveau movement. While René Lalique generally placed his name upon the objects he designed, Hoffman used an open-winged butterfly to identify his creations.”
