Description
This pipe holder made of blackened brass was produced for Herta Baller in Vienna in the 1950s, based on a design by Walter Bosse. The elongated, trough-shaped rest transitions into a curved, narrowing extension. The light brass edge traces the contour and contrasts with the dark surface. The underside bears the punch mark "Baller AUSTRIA".
