Unknown maker. This was sourced in Germany and dates to c1920s. The design shows a distinct Bauhaus influence in its form though has not been traced to any designer. Bauhaus students were encouraged to work with manufacturers in developing everyday objects along Bauhaus design principles. This is currently an under-researched area.
