A rare and important piece of Danish Mid-Century Art Pottery—a unique, hand-made stoneware bowl by artist Helge Christoffersen for Royal Copenhagen. This bowl is dated 1948, the very year
 
Christoffersen began his influential tenure with the factory's Art Department.
This is a true unique object (Unika), not a serial production piece. During his time at Royal Copenhagen (1948-1954), Christoffersen created 285 models, with fewer than 5% ever entering production. This bowl is one of the rare, singular works.
 
The piece features a beautiful, low-profile form with a striking figural decoration set against a rich, deep blue glaze. The quality and deep glaze finish elevate this small bowl to a collectible art object.
