Hand-applied cream slip sgraffito decoration. Traditional Scandinavian fern / wheat motif. Marked “Made in Sweden” on the base. Impressed workshop mark and size code “20″. Mid-century production, circa 1950s-1970s. Intended as a functional serving or display bowl. Diameter: 8 inches. Depth: approximately 1.5 inches. Very good vintage condition. No cracks, no chips, no repairs. Clean glaze with only light, honest age-appropriate wear to the base consistent with normal use. Decoration is crisp and intact. This is not modern hobby pottery or tourist ware. It is genuine Scandinavian studio stoneware with excellent material quality and classic Nordic form. A strong piece for collectors of Swedish, MCM, or studio ceramics.
