This vase is one of a series of products made from perforated tin. The craftsmen and women of the Wiener Werkstätte produced boxes, candlesticks, desk sets, flower bowls, and wastebaskets in this particular design, often lacquered in white and constructed of metal with punched through squares. His use of squares earned Josef Hoffmann the nickname "Quadratl-Hoffmann," or Square Hoffmann. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether the invention of this gridded design can be traced back to him or Moser.
