Condition
Very good overall condition. Some minute nicks to the rim. The painted decoration has some minor wear and surface imperfections as seen in the catalogue illustration. The red decoration is more intense and orange-red in person and the darker color is more of a metallic hematite tone in person that reads as black in the catalogue illustration. The piece is much larger in person than it appears in the catalogue illustration.

Catalogue Note
Bruno Mauder was the director of the glass school in Zwiesel from 1910 until his death in 1948. He had trained as a traditional porcelain painter, but was deeply moved by modern art, which influenced the abstract and bold enameled design of the present lot, deriving from German Expressionism.
