Unique Piece (Unika) – Hand-Signed by the Artist
 
This spectacular ceramic bowl represents a singular moment in 20th-century Scandinavian design. Created by the legendary Danish ceramist Thorkild Olsen (1890-1973) for Aluminia, Denmark, this is not a production piece but a rare, unique studio work, highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
 
The Artist's Legacy:
Thorkild Olsen was a pivotal figure within the Royal Copenhagen family (Aluminia was acquired by RC in 1882), serving as an influential ceramist from 1908 onward. He is celebrated for his sophisticated glaze experiments and the transition of his decoration from classic naturalism to abstraction. Pieces bearing his personal hallmark and designated Unika (unique) are considered investment-grade art pottery and are represented in major museum collections, including MoMA, New York.
