Salt (one of a pair)
Ilonka KaraszWW-1928-143313
<p>One of few women working in the Art Deco style in America, Ilonka Karasz favored simple geometric forms such as these cone-shaped salts, which emphasize the object’s function rather than its decoration. Karasz was born in Hungary and in 1913 immigrated to New York City, where she found success as a designer of ceramics, furniture, metalwork, textiles, and wallpaper.</p>
