Beautiful and bright pair of high silver metal vases with a rounded base and short conical body. The upper side has a flared shape and the body is stretched.

The work was designed by Fritz August Breuhaus de Groot (Solingen, 1883 - Cologne, 1960), an architect who specialized in interior design particularly for transportation. Breuhaus trained at the Polytechnic in Stuttgart and was a student of Peter Behrens at Düsseldorf’s arts and crafts school. In 1906, he left school to work in the design field. He also became well-known for his villas and country houses for the German high society. During and after World War II, Breuhaus continued to design modernist buildings for wealthy clients. Fritz August Breuhaus de Groot used to present himself as a late follower of modern architecture: he dates the beginning of his career in the year 1928, when, for the first time, he could build the way he had imagined to during many years before.
