About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Striking vintage Danish studio ceramic bowl designed by Marianne Starck for Michael Andersen & Son, Bornholm, dating from the 1960s Mid-Century Modern period.
This sculptural piece is a strong example of Bornholm studio pottery, combining organic form with expressive glazing and bold relief decoration.
Design & Aesthetic
The bowl features Marianne Starck’s iconic relief motif of a stylised hare and sun, a signature design associated with her work for Michael Andersen.
The surface is richly layered with textured glazes in warm earthy tones of ochre, caramel, and deep brown, creating depth and movement across the ceramic surface.
Inside, a subtle spiral texture enhances its sculptural quality, reflecting the organic modernism of Scandinavian design that makes Bornholm ceramics highly collectible today.
Both decorative and functional, this piece works beautifully as:
a sculptural centerpiece
a fruit bowl
or part of a curated Mid-Century ceramic collection
