Product Story & Design Significance
 
This stately stoneware jug represents the refined artistry of Bode Willumsen, one of the most respected ceramicists to work with Royal Copenhagen in the early-to-mid 20th century. Produced before his departure in 1947, this piece (stamped 2917) is a superb example of the foundational principles of Danish Modern design: functionality, simplicity, and natural beauty.
 
Willumsen’s stoneware pieces are celebrated for their strong, unadorned shapes and deep, complex glazes. This jug transitions seamlessly from a functional pitcher to a striking decorative vase or art object. Its scarcity and authenticated markings make it a highly desirable addition for any serious collector of Scandinavian art pottery.
