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.
