Truly a gorgeous bright Cobalt Blue on White Cathrineholm Enamelware Lotus bowl.
This "retro" design has become a favorite of designers and collectors, and GSH is delighted to be able to offer this piece!
The company was founded in 1907 and closed in 1968. One of their most famous designers was Grete Prytz Kittelsen, who did not design the lotus pattern, although she was responsible for the shape and materials. The lotus pattern was created by Arne Clausen, a decorator working at Cathrineholm in the 1960′s. The lotus pattern became a signature piece for the company when Norwegian housewives favored the pattern, or that is the way the "legend" goes.
Measuring 9.5" and 4" tall, it is in wonderful vintage condition with no chips, flea bites, etc. As seen in the photo, there are 2 very slight and minor surface scratches on one of the blue petals and only minimal wear on the bottom.
CARE: This piece is over 50 years old and not microwave or dishwasher safe - simply hand wash with a gentle soap and wash cloth for many more years of display and use.
