This beautiful collectible dish/bowl features the city of Oberammergau with the Cross and the mountain vista in the background. The Oberammergau municipality in Bavaria, Germany is known for its *Passion Play held each decade. Made circa 1930-50’s by the great German modernist artist, A.G. Bunge (1893-1967). A.G. Bunge was a German metalworker and enamel artist best known for his elegantly crafted bracelets, plates, cups, book ends, and other household objects. He went on to serve in World War I and permanently disfigured his hand following a combat injury. After the war, he attended the Munich Art Academy, and in 1922 Bunge and his colleague founded the Society for Applied Art. By 1925, he had established his own metal shop in Emmmering, Germany, and throughout the 1930s would work more with enamel and collaborate with the noted enamel painter Lily Koebner-Linke. His goals were similar to the Bauhaus school’s philosophy of merging and blurring the line between art and life, approaching his studio with holistic and comprehensive practice.

*The play is a staging of Jesus\' passion, covering the short final period of his life from his visit to Jerusalem and leading to his execution by crucifixion. In 1633, the residents of Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany, vowed that if God spared them from the bubonic plague ravaging the region, they would produce a play thereafter for all time every 10 years depicting the life and death of Jesus. The death rate among adults rose from one person per 1000 per year in October 1632 to twenty in the month of March 1633. The adult death rate slowly subsided to one in the month of July 1633. The villagers believed they had been spared and they kept their part of the vow when the play was first performed in 1634. Please visit My store: goldenwindowshop d/sn
