Marianne Brandt - Tea extract jug MT 49 / ME 8 German silver. The smooth body in the shape of a hemisphere on two crossed bars. Straight, conical spout; the handle consists of a semi-circular, ebonized wooden disc. The flat top of the jug describes an exact circle with an asymmetrically arranged opening; a small cylindrical wooden knob on the inserted slip lid. Unmarked. H 8; W 15.8; D 10 cm. Bauhaus Weimar, Marianne Brandt, 1924. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Weimar and subsequently training as a sculptor, Marianne Brandt joined the metal workshop of the still young Bauhaus in 1924 and soon made a name for herself with her designs of prototypes for jugs, vessels and lamps, all of which were entirely committed to the slogan "Art and technology - a new unity", which Walter Gropius had issued in 1923. Her teacher Laszlo Moholy-Nagy praised her in a recommendation as "my most brilliant student". Her tea extract jug MT 49 / ME 8, created in 1924, is one of the very early works that Marianne Brandt designed right at the beginning of her training at the Bauhaus. Today, it is one of the icons of the Bauhaus movement, even though the design never went into series production, unlike the famous cantilever chairs by Marcel Breuer or the lamps by Wilhelm Wagenfeld. The seven designs known to date are all in major international collections, such as The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, New York, The British Museum, London, and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. A teapot auctioned by Lempertz in 1996 is now on display at the Kamm Teapot Foundation in Los Angeles. All seven prototypes were presented together in a display case for the first time in 2019 on the occasion of the "Original Bauhaus" anniversary exhibition at the Berlinische Galerie. This small circle has now been joined by an eighth example, which comes to us with an interesting and complete provenance: Marianne Brandt gave the jug to a close friend in Chemnitz (then Karl-Marx-Stadt) in the 1970s, in whose family it has remained to this day. The correspondence between the two women has survived and is preserved in the Berlin Bauhaus Archive. Marianne Brandt apparently experimented with different materials for this design. In addition to two versions in silver, we know of versions in tombac and brass, for example. The jug in the collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, which we were able to compare with ours, is made of bronze with a nickel silver spout. An examination of our version at the Cologne Institute of Conservation Sciences, CICS, revealed the presence of copper, zinc and nickel in all parts, so it was made entirely of nickel silver. According to item 9 of our auction conditions, this plumb bob is subject to the right of resale. Provenance From the estate of Marianne Brandt; a gift to a friend from Chemnitz around 1975; in the possession of the same family since then. Literature On Marianne Brandt see cat. Die Metallwerkstatt am Bauhaus, Berlin 1992, p. 138 ff., for the tea extract jug see ibid. fig. 36 f. Cf. also cat. original bauhaus, Berlin 2019, p. 30 ff.
