The surface has a pronounced tactile quality, with decoration integrated into the form to create a balanced and cohesive expression. Produced by Royal Copenhagen in the 1970s. Model 719/2942. Origin: Denmark. Designer: Nils Thorsson. Material: Faience. Dimensions: H. 15 cm, D. 19 cm. Period: 1970s. Condition: Excellent condition with minor signs of wear. Bio: Nils Thorsson was artistic director at Royal Copenhagen and a key figure in the development of the factory’s modern faience production. With the Baca series, introduced in the late 1960s, he established a distinctive graphic style based on modular decoration, relief effects, and a subdued, earthy colour palette. The series represents an important chapter in post-war Danish ceramics and is today highly regarded by collectors.
