ABOUT PRODUCTID 24163
This porcelain mug, designed by Mogens Andersen for Royal Copenhagen in 1987, exemplifies Danish modernism of the 1980s. Crafted from smooth, glossy white porcelain, it is adorned with a hand-painted abstract motif in saturated green and deep black. The mug features a classic cylindrical shape with straight sides and a large, ergonomic handle. Its decoration is defined by dynamic brushstrokes: soft green areas serve as the backdrop for bold, gestural black lines. At the base of the pattern, the hand-painted year '1987' marks its collectible status. The surface is entirely smooth, free from any relief. The construction is precise, with a seamless junction of handle and body. Height: 11.5 cm, width: 10.5 cm. The mug is in good vintage condition, showing minor surface scratches characteristic of age, with no chips, repairs, or damage.This mug tells the story of 1980s Denmark, when artistic expression entered everyday life. The porcelain's cool, smooth white becomes a canvas for spontaneous gestures: green and black strokes capture a fleeting creative moment. Each piece bears the imprint of the artist's individual decision, as if the vessel briefly became a painter’s canvas. It is a piece of ceramic that invites reflection on the meeting of art and utility, retaining the freshness and energy of its era.The mug can be displayed on an open shelf or in a glass cabinet, or paired with other modernist ceramics, Murano glass, or raw wood to highlight its Danish heritage. It also works well in minimalist or eclectic interiors, where it adds a subtle, artistic accent. For a more striking effect, it could be set alongside black-and-white graphics or lush green plants to enhance the vibrancy of its hand-painted decoration.
