This is an opportunity to own a beautiful Art Deco vintage bowl in wonderful condition.
Made by Hjorth Pottery on the Isle of Bornholm, Denmark, the piece it is hand painted in slip with a scene of two geese in flight on a branch of budding horse chestnut. The clay has been fired at a very high temperature and the brown silky finish to the bowl is the finished product of the firing. There is no glaze used to create this finish, only the hand painted design.
The piece is signed to the underside L Hjorth and has the pottery's own stag stamp. It is also signed 119 for the shape. It would date sometime from the 1927-1940. The stag mark was introduced in 1927 and this type of ware was produced by the pottery up until the beginning of WW2 when supplies of raw materials and firewood were in short supply.
The bowl is in excellent condition and has no chips, cracks or repairs.
It measures around 225mm across and is around 60mm tall.
