Glass Teapot Designed by Heinrich Löffelhardt - Jenaer Glaswerk, Germany, c. 1940s
This sculptural glass teapot was designed by Heinrich Löffelhardt, one of the key figures bridging Bauhaus modernism and the softer functional design language of the mid-20th century.
Produced by Jenaer Glaswerk (Schott & Gen.), the teapot is crafted in heat-resistant glass and shaped into a low, rounded form with a flowing handle and gently angled spout. The design feels calm and grounded — modern, yet deeply humane.
Löffelhardt’s work is known for bringing warmth and tactility to functional objects, and this piece embodies that philosophy: transparent, balanced, and quietly expressive.
Equally suited for daily use or as a sculptural object, it reflects a moment when modern design became part of everyday life.
