After the bankruptcy of Wiener Werkstätte, Hoffmann had numerous silver objects manufactured by the Alexander Sturm company, J. C. Klinkosch as well as other Viennese gold and silver smiths. Hoffmann designed this cup for Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk, Munich. In the recently published book “Der Späte Hoffmann, Wiener Kunsthandwerk nach 1932“ by M. Kristan and F. M. Bogner, the cup is shown on the front cover.
