ABOUT PRODUCTID 24159
This ceramic tray, designed by Marianne Starck and produced by Danish manufacturer Michael Andersen & Søn in the 1960s, stands out with its slender, rectangular silhouette featuring gently splayed sides and a subtly raised base. The deep, cool blue dominates the surface, transitioning into smoky gray and muted brownish accents—a hallmark of Scandinavian mid-century modern design. The glossy glaze reveals a fine crackle pattern (craquelure), while the interior is adorned with a rhythmic, stylized motif in dark blue, reminiscent of abstract birds or floral forms, running along the long edges. The ceramic is smooth to the touch, with visible hand-crafted irregularities that underscore its unique, artisanal nature. The tray is in good vintage condition, displaying minor scratches and natural signs of use, with no major damage or repairs.This piece speaks in the quiet tones of 1960s Denmark: restraint in form balanced by a thoughtful gesture of artistry. The cool blue and geometric motif evoke interiors where every detail mattered and craftsmanship was an expression of respect for material. The subtle craquelure effect creates a mood as if the piece has captured a breath from past decades; the interior pattern, reminiscent of birds or stylized flowers, tells of a discreet decorative spirit that guides rather than dominates the gaze.The tray would find its place atop a low teak console or glass coffee table in a mid-century modern living room. It could be paired with minimalist milky glass vessels or geometric vases to accentuate
