This image displays a printed page or possibly a catalog extract with a two-panel spread featuring product designs that echo the Bauhaus style, known for its functionalist approaches to design and common during the early-mid 20th century. On the left panel, there is a photograph of a table lamp. The lamp has a spherical, frosted glass shade and a base made from clear material, possibly crystal glass, as suggested by the German text below ("Kristallglas-Fuss" means "crystal glass base"). The lamp's neck appears to be made of metal, and it has visible controls for adjusting the lamp's height. A power cord with a plug is shown trailing from the lamp's base. On the right panel, the title "DAS BAUHAUS IN DESSAU" is printed prominently, indicating a connection to the famous Bauhaus school of design which was located in Dessau, Germany. Below the title are photographs of three spherical objects on thin stems, described as "Teekugel ME 3 ges. gesch. Messing vernickelt" (which translates roughly as "Tea ball ME 3 patented. protection. Nickel-plated brass") and a corresponding "Unterlegscheibe ME 4" (which translates to "Washer ME 4"), indicating these are nickel-plated brass tea infusers with a matching stand or dish. The page appears to have some age with crease marks and slight discolorations. There is also some handwriting in the lower right corner, possibly a signature or a note. The overall presentation suggests this is a historical document related to the products designed during the Bauhaus era.
