Harry Bertoia became the director of the metal studio at Cranbrook in 1937. Bertoia's work can be classified in two ways, ranging from fully realized and refined silverwork to irregular biomorphic forms. This lidded vessel and creamer are two pieces of a three-piece service illustrating Bertoia's biomorphic style.
