A 1960s Scandinavian teak bowl in the style of Jens Quistgaard

About the Item

A 1960s Scandinavian teak bowl in the style of Jens Quistgaard. The undulating rim and grain of wood give it a wonderfully natural and warm look. Danish sculptor and industrial designer Jens Quistgaard (1919–2008) enjoyed a long and successful career in Denmark and in the United States. He was particularly active during the 1950 and ‘60s. His best known and most commercially successful works were produced by Dansk Designs, an American manufacturer whose name is the Danish word for “Danish” itself. Dansk Designs brought Quistgaard and his reductionist Nordic design aesthetic to the United States, where the pair were instrumental in the creation of an American awareness and appreciation of Danish Modern design.

  • Dame Lucie Rie, 1950's Porcelain Footed Bowl with Manganese Glaze.
    By Lucie Rie
    Located in London, GB
    This is a great example of a Lucie Rie iconic hand-thrown, footed bowl with manganese glaze. It is thinly potted and slightly pulled into an ovoid shape with an undulating rim. The running glaze is subtle whilst adding an individual element to the decoration of the bowl. The bowl bears the artist's monogram seal mark under. Lucie Rie was an Austrian-born British ceramics artist. Rie’s works, usually consisting of hand-thrown pots, bottles, and bowl forms, are noteworthy for their Modernist forms. Born in 1902 in Vienna, Austria, she studied pottery at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule, a school of arts and crafts. In 1937, she won a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition and by the following year, Rie moved to London to flee Nazi Austria. Once settled in the British capital, she maintained a small studio and continued to produce pottery and small clay objects, including ceramic buttons and jewellery which she sold to support herself. She was later joined by Hans Coper, a young artist who soon became a partner in her studio. She taught at the Camberwell School of Art from 1960...
