The surface displays light hammer marks and gentle irregularities that attest to its handcrafted origin. Minimal ornamentation gives way to flowing lines and asymmetry, reflecting the aesthetic principles of Danish applied arts of the time. The platter is in very good condition; patina and slight surface wear are typical for its age, with no damage or repairs.In this piece, one can sense the voice of 1950s Danish design — a time when craftsmanship and natural inspiration were intertwined.
