Another thing I have always been curious about is the heavy bowl with unglazed base - obviously used for heating and serving something warm - but what? - does anyone know?
Starting with 4 of the designs on different sized plates:
 |
| Large Souffle Bowls |
 |
| The lovely skillet shape goes so well with the motif |
 |
| Some of these tab - handled serving dishes are quite deep - I have only seen the shallow ones before |
 |
| Its hard to imagine the scale of this piece from a photograph - It is 36 cm wide! |
 |
| Top view of the serving dish showing the motif to full effect |
 |
| There are 4 sizes of this bowl design - this is the largest - I guess used for Pasta? |
 |
| This is the heavy bowl with unglazed based which I have always wondered about the purpose of |
 |
| Another of the backstamps - this I think is an early one from the series |
They are such joyful pieces!
ReplyDelete...nice touch with the distressed/paint wood background! :)
yes they are great together too....I was going to photograph on my teak sideboard, but then I would have had to move everything off it - this was the easier solution :)
DeleteCould the last one be a potato bowl? We Scandinavians eat loads of potatos :-). About the large deep plate my guess is that it is a soup plate. Pasta was not eaten much in the 70s and soup plates come very large in Scandinavia.

Yes, I hadnt thought of a bowl for potatoes..but it makes sense. I know at least it is not a herring bowl:) (Ive seen that one before). You are right or course the large ones would not have been made as pasta bowls - they are quite a recent thing - there would be enough soup for a 4 in each one though!
DeleteYou´re right not even the Scandinavians eat that much soup at once :-). Let´s just call it a serving bowl :-)
