Description: A Brass Mezuzah Case made by Hans Teppich in Jerusalem Circa 1950. Hans Teppich was born in Germany in 1904. After finishing High-School in Berlin he studied art in evening classes and then continued studying for ten more years in morning classes in the “Kunstgewerbe und Handwerkerschule” in Berlin. He acquired a broad range of art education, including drawing, sculpture, metalwork, bronze casting, metal turning, and interior design. In 1933 he immigrated to Israel and established a workshop in Jerusalem. In his workshop, he created different practical art objects including Hanukkah lamps, Candlesticks, Mezuzot, Israeli flower-shaped Spice boxes, many beautiful pieces of jewelry, and unique chess sets. Teppich was a genius artist. He became famous for his Biblical figures and Judaic items. While this Mezuzah case does not compare to the figurines and other works of Teppich, the simple yet modern design presented here in this Mezuzah case shows us a glimpse of Teppichs ingenuity. Made in a cylindrical fashion with small dome caps on both ends the case is fitted into its extending holder at the back. Several indented rings are present on the modern design, and a small pierced circular window at the center enables us to see the scroll when placed within. Signed and marked at the back of the brass holder. Height 6.7cm width .8cm depth 1cm
