vintage item::

Two piece of German, 1920's, Bauhaus era glass cookware designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld and produced by Schott Jenaer Glassworks. These pieces are fine examples of the very practical side of Bauhaus design in that they are meant to be used from oven to table. Also, the idea of cookware that is completely see-thru was a distinctly modern approach to cooking. Identical pieces of this design can be found in major design museum collections, including the Cooper Hewitt in New York. Both pieces have the early Schott Jenaer signature. For size reference, the larger piece is 6 inches tall and 12 inches wide. One piece has patina on bottom from use and repair to lid's handle.
