ABOUT PRODUCTID 18046
The Provence bowl, designed by Per Lütken for Denmark's Royal Copenhagen in the 1950s, epitomizes collectible Scandinavian mid-century modern design. Hand-blown from crystal-clear glass, it stands out for its absolute transparency, devoid of any colored accents or added tints. The form—almost a perfect hemisphere, with a subtly convex base and a thick, distinctly rounded rim—strikes a delicate balance between visual lightness and structural solidity. Its smooth, highly polished surface reflects light in the unmistakable way of artisanal glass, while gentle optical distortions add a unique, handcrafted character. Designed from the outset as both a decorative and functional object, the bowl’s scale accommodates fruit or floral arrangements with ease. Preserved in original condition, it bears minor traces of use consistent with genuine 1950s vintage pieces.Its timeless simplicity echoes the tranquil postwar spirit of Scandinavia, where skilled craftsmanship met a new sensibility for form. The transparent glass, shaped by hand, subtly interacts with changing daylight—sometimes taking on the milky sheen of morning, at others a cool, reflective glow. The Provence model entered the canon of Danish design thanks to its understated gentleness: the bowl doesn’t proclaim its presence but rather remains—a silent witness to family gatherings and everyday rituals.It may be displayed as a singular accent on an oak or walnut table in a mid-century modern setting, but it also finds its place in Scandinavian-inspired, minimalist, or classic interiors. Pairing it with matte ceramics or metal candlesticks highlights a dialogue between texture and shine. The bowl harmonizes equally well with warm wood as with the cool tones of marble
