The interior is finished in a dark, matte patina that contrasts beautifully against the polished brass rim, a combination typical of Hagenauer's confident material pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece carries genuine documented significance, having been illustrated in the 2011 exhibition catalog \"Hagenauer: Wiener Moderne Und Neue Sachlichkeit,\" a detail that places it firmly within the scholarly record of the workshop's output. The underside is marked with \"Handmade,\" with the \"wHw\" mark, \"Made in Vienna Austria,\" and \"Hagenauer Wien,\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA design from the 1930s, the ashtray reflects the height of Vienna's modernist design output, where everyday objects were treated with the same formal rigor as fine sculpture. Measuring 5.25 x 4.75 x 0.5\", it sits comfortably on a desk or side table, equally striking whether used for its intended purpose or displayed as a small piece of design history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rare and well documented piece for serious collectors of Hagenauer, Austrian design, or European modernism more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karl Hagenauer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50164217512074,"sku":null,"price":630.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Karl_Hagenauer_Fish_Ashtray_-_Austria_c.1930_5.jpg?v=1790380514","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/karl-hagenauer-fish-ashtray-austria-c-1930","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
