Product description
A rare and exceptional mid-century Danish ceramic wall tray/plaque designed and handcrafted by master potter Herluf Gottschalk Olsen (GO), dating from the 1950s–1960s. This substantial 38 cm long stoneware piece carries immense design provenance, bearing both the artist's incised signature and the original vintage retail label from the prestigious Illum Bolighus department store in Copenhagen—the ultimate stamp of mid-century luxury curation. The plaque features a mesmerizing, thickly layered reactive glaze showcasing rich cobalt, deep indigo, and midnight blue tones with a beautiful tactile texture. Designed for versatility, it features an integrated hanging hook on the reverse to be displayed as modernist ceramic wall art. Alternatively, it serves beautifully as a striking tabletop tray for candles or design objects. A perfect centerpiece for brutalist, Japandi, or organic mid-century modern interiors. - Designer/Potter: Herluf Gottschalk Olsen (GO) - Provenance: Originally retailed at Illum Bolighus (Copenhagen, Denmark) - Era: 1950s–1960s - Material: Heavy Glazed Stoneware (Stentøj) - Dimensions: Length 38 cm | Width 14 cm | Height 3 cm Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
