Christa Ehrlich voor Zilverfabriek Voorschoten

Description: a fine vegetable serving spoon, executed in the well-known model 1064 by Christa Ehrlich. Christa Ehrlich was an originally Austrian designer who from 1922 to 1925 pursued training at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule of Josef Hoffmann. For the important international exhibition Europäisches Kunstgewerbe in Leipzig (1927) she established the Austrian section there. There she met Carel Begeer (1883–1956), director of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Edelmetaal Bedrijven (KNEB), who invited her to design modern silver utensils for the factory in Voorschoten. Her designs proved to be a great success and are still praised and regarded as exemplary of the so-called ‘constructive’ or ‘modernist’ style that was in fashion in the twenties of the last century. She had a penchant for sparsely decorated products with clear, preferably geometric main forms. Christa Ehrlich remained with the silver factory until her retirement.
