About the Item

A rare highly expressive 1937 Danish ceramic bowl with lid, distinguished by its vibrant turquoise-green crackle glaze, hand-painted with exceptional sensitivity. The lid is crowned by a sculpted figure of a boy, a charming narrative gesture that introduces a sense of folklore and whimsy. Around the form, the artist has incorporated catfish motifs, their stylized contours harmonizing with the bowl’s rounded proportions and luminous glaze. The combination of sculptural figuration, decorative symbolism, and richly textured surface exemplifies the imaginative spirit of 1930s Nordic ceramics, where everyday objects were elevated through craft, storytelling, and bold experimentation with glaze.
