About the Item

A striking Swedish modernist ceramic bowl designed by Erik Mornils for Nittsjö in the 1930s. This beautifully hand-thrown piece features a rich, organically mottled glaze in deep greens and dark tonal variations, creating a dynamic, almost painterly surface. The form is simple yet elegant, with a gently rounded profile that highlights the depth and movement of the glaze. The interior reveals a luminous green field with subtle tonal shifts, while the exterior carries a darker, more dramatic expression—typical of Scandinavian ceramic artistry of the period. The base is clearly marked “Nittsjö Sweden,” confirming its origin, and retains its original foot with natural firing tones, adding authenticity and charm. A refined example of early 20th-century Swedish design, this bowl embodies the era’s focus on craftsmanship, natural forms, and expressive glazing techniques.
