Gallery label	(2023) Tea and coffee service Silver, parcel gilt and ivory Designed by Otto Prutscher and made by J.C. Klinkosch Vienna, 1920 Museum no. M.38&A to M-1970 This service was designed by Otto Prutscher for the silversmithing company J.C. Klinkosch. Prutscher was a versatile designer who trained with the architect, Josef Hoffmann. The striking, curved surfaces and well-proportioned forms across the whole service embody Prutscher’s quest for Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. This was a central tenet of the Wiener Werkstätte whereby members sought to unite the disciplines of painting, architecture and decorative arts in their designs.
