Oswald Haerdtl
Oswald Haerdtl was born in 1899 in Vienna, and was an important Austrian architect, designer, and architecture teacher. Oswald Haerdtl came into contact with the Lobmeyr company as a young architect and designer. With an eye to the 1925 Exposition Internationale desArts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes exhibition in Paris, he delivered a numbered bundle of the most diverse, fine glass designs—including sensationally tall vases, the world-famous “Candy Dish” made of extremely fine muslin glass, and Drinking Set No. 240.
