Vintage Pottery Bowls

Royal Copenhagen Stoneware Bowl: Carl Halier (attrib), Denmark, Centerpiece 1924. It was really only with the arrival in 1911 at Royal Copenhagen of the Swede Patrick Nordstr. Patrick Nordström was born in. Väsby, outside Höganäs, a major Swedish pottery center. He was the son of a master carpenter and trained as a woodcarver and sculptor. After completing his studies in Stockholm, he spent five years traveling in Europe, starting in Berlin and going on to Venice and Paris. Before leaving Paris, he. Worked as a stucco and ornament sculptor in the construction of buildings for the 1900 Paris Exhibition Universelle, where he is reported to have been impressed by the work of a new generation of French stoneware artists, including Carries, Chaplet, Delaherche and Dalpayrat. Inspired and determined to bring the art of stoneware manufacture to Denmark. Nordström took up residence in Copenhagen, where he initially resumed his profession as an ornament sculptor. In his spare time he began to experiment with ceramic works, a field in which he was entirely self-taught, in a self-built kiln in the basement of his home in Fredriksberg. In 1911, he produced his first pieces in stoneware in a kiln in the garden of his villa in Vanl. Se, where he also fired works for other artists, including Knud Kyhn and J. Nordström drew his inspiration from the Chinese and Japanese influences on French stoneware artists. Nordström’s production soon attracted the interest of Arnold Krog at Royal Copenhagen, and he began work there in 1912, initially to develop stoneware glazes. He was to remain at Royal Copenhagen for ten years, eventually assuming overall responsibility for its stoneware production. Nordström left Royal Copenhagen in 1922 to establish his own workhop in Islev, but only after leaving a legacy of technical innovation in glazes, his own body of studio stoneware inspired by Japanese and Chinese art, and a group of trained collaborators to carry on Royal Copenhagen’s stoneware tradition. His matte crystaline glazes, inspired by those developed in the far east, were continued and perfected by fellow Royal Copenhagen artists Carl Halier, Axel Salto and Nils Thorsson. This robust bowl is very characteristic of Royal Copenhagen stoneware in the Patrick. Nordström era and would grace the center of any table. This piece is dated August 21, 1924 (21-8-1924) and is most likely from the hand of In the case of this piece, my best guess on dating and attribution is that this is a 1920s era piece from the hand of. The glaze on this piece is a beautiful soft light matte blue with crystalline highlights in a darker blue around the mouth of the bowl and brown iron flecks throughout. The piece is well marked with the hand-painted three blue waves and the date of production (21-8-1924). The dimensions of this large bowl are approximately 9 inches wide, 6 inches across the mouth and approximately 4 inches high. This first quality piece is in excellent original condition, with no observed flaws. Please see the photos for further details on condition and to fully appreciate this bowl’s glaze and form. The bulk of my collection is Danish stoneware from the 1920s into the 1970s.
