ABOUT PRODUCTID 36457
This ceramic bowl, designed by Marianne Starck for the Danish manufacturer Michael Andersen & Søn in the 1970s, exemplifies Scandinavian modernism with clear mid-century and minimalist influences. The wide, shallow form measures 34 cm in diameter and 6.5 cm in height, crafted from stoneware with a subtly rough, unglazed surface. Cool off-white tones are intersected by deep, earthy browns arranged in geometric segments, with a pronounced, deeply incised spiral at the center. The interior is divided into alternating fields, each adorned with a raised, linear pattern—a signature of Starck’s graphic sensibility. The piece is authenticated by the three-fish and 'MS' marks, confirming its origin on the island of Bornholm. The bowl remains in good condition with minor scratches and signs of use consistent with its age, and shows no visible damage or restoration.This object speaks in the language of Danish design from the 1970s, where simplicity meets rhythmic structure and artisanal precision. The geometric surface division evokes an era when designers sought harmony between function and applied art. The spiral motif at the center suggests movement and continuity, while the matte finish of the stoneware highlights its earthy origins—almost as if the bowl itself recounts the story of the land and hands that shaped it.The bowl can be displayed on a low console or table in the living room, revealing its modernist character alongside raw wood, glass, or minimalist accessories. It may be paired with a neutral color palette to accentuate the subtle contrasts of brown and white, or integrated into a mid-century modern arrangement where geometric patterns and natural ceramics form a cohesive dialogue. In larger interiors, it can also serve as a focal point on a dining table or among a curated
