About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Stunning vintage Danish stoneware bowl, designed by renowned designer Marianne Starck for the Michael Andersen & Sons factory in Bornholm, Denmark, in the 1960s.
Design and Aesthetics
This sculptural ceramic piece, emblematic of the Mid-Century style, features Marianne Starck's iconic motif of a stylized hare and sun in relief. The design is enhanced by a layering of textured glazes in shades of ochre, caramel, and deep brown. The textured spiral interior and the earthy color palette perfectly reflect the organic modernism that makes Bornholm ceramics so sought after by collectors of Scandinavian design.
Both decorative and functional, this bowl has a strong visual presence, whether used as a centerpiece, a fruit bowl, or displayed within a collection of Danish studio ceramics.
