Rustic Charm: Large Lidded Bowl by Karin og Erling Heerwagen, Dated 1979
A desirable piece of artisan ceramics from Karin og Erling Heerwagen Keramik, one of Langeland, Denmark's most recognized Mid-Century studio pottery workshops. This large lidded bowl showcases the couple's characteristic hand-built technique and warm, earthy glazes. The defining feature of this piece is the applied, decoration on the lid, depicting a charming, stylized tree. This design element perfectly embodies the Scandinavian studio art tradition of the 1970s—a movement that valued connection to nature, texture, and a friendly, rustic aesthetic.
