Description: Here is another important design for Swid Powell by the Haussmann’s. This is the baby cup that accompanied the peppermill and the frame they designed in this “Ears” form. The original design drawing is on page 65 of Tapert’s book. Marked on the bottom "Swid Powell, Made in Argentina" with the Haussmann’s monogram. An example is in the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery. These are hard to find and to date we have only seen two others in the marketplace.
