Carl Halier Royal Copenhagen 21824. A Magnificent Example of Danish "Sung" Stoneware
 
This large, shallow stoneware bowl is a testament to the technical mastery of Carl Halier (1873–1948) for Royal Copenhagen. Decorated in the prestigious "Sung" glaze, the piece features a rich, painterly surface of earthy browns and creamy highlights.
The "Sung" Legacy: Developed at Royal Copenhagen in the early 20th century, the Sung glaze was a revolutionary attempt to recreate the sophisticated "transmutation" glazes of the Chinese Song Dynasty. The firing process is unpredictable and high-heat, ensuring that while the form may be replicated, the "bloom" of the glaze on every bowl is entirely unique.
