ABOUT PRODUCTID 24168
This Royal Copenhagen porcelain mug, designed by Mogens Andersen in 1988, exemplifies late 20th-century Danish minimalism. Crafted from glazed porcelain in a cool white tone, it features a cylindrical shape with straight sides and a flat base. The large, rounded handle ensures a comfortable grip, and there are no additional fittings or ornaments. The sole decoration is a bold, black motif, painted with expressive brushstrokes and integrated with the number '1988', giving the mug a distinctive graphic accent. The smooth, glossy surface highlights the purity of the material and the simplicity of the form. The mug is preserved in good vintage condition, free from chips or cracks, with only minor signs of use typical for objects from the 1980s.The mug’s form and decoration evoke the spirit of Danish modernism, where functionality intersects with artistic expression. The bold black on white recalls a period when utilitarian design began embracing the spontaneous gesture of the creator, allowing everyday objects to become small works of art. This is a porcelain record of an era when simplicity was both an aesthetic and ideological statement—the vessel seems to whisper of a time seeking balance between discipline and freedom.The mug can be used for daily rituals or as a collectible accent in the living room or study. It pairs well with light ceramics, glass, or a minimalist tray to emphasize its graphic motif. It would complement Scandinavian, modernist, or eclectic interiors, and could also be repurposed as a small vase for a single stem or displayed among other vintage pieces, telling a subtle story of late 20th-century applied art.Height: 11.5 cm; width: 10.5 cm; depth: 10.5 cm. Material: glazed porcelain. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the decoration. No visible damage, good vintage condition.
