Bing & Grøndahl bowl with crayfish no. 1111 Art Nouveau

This Bing & Grøndahl bowl with crayfish no. 1111 is a fascinating piece of porcelain, where the forms of nature and the soft lines of the Art Nouveau period merge into a vivid and decorative expression. The organic shape, the undulating relief details and the fine modelling of the crayfish give the bowl an almost narrative character, which brings to mind the world of the sea and the era's enthusiasm for nature motifs in art.

The design is associated with Effie Hegermann-Lindencrone, who is known for her atmospheric and richly detailed works. Here her confident sense of movement, surface and form is seen in a piece of Bing & Grøndahl porcelain that appears elegant, distinctive and collectible. The colours in the cool shades emphasize the maritime expression and give the bowl a refined, almost sculptural character.

It is precisely the combination of craftsmanship and function that makes this porcelain bowl so special. It can be used as a small bowl for serving, as a decorative bowl on the table, in the display cabinet or as an atmospheric element in a collection of Bing & Grøndahl, Danish porcelain and Art Nouveau design. It is also ideal as a gift for the collector, for the design enthusiast or for the person who appreciates porcelain with history and personality.

A bowl like this appeals not only to those seeking Bing & Grøndahl porcelain, but also to collectors of figurative bowls, maritime motifs and classic Danish design. It stands beautifully on its own, but can also be combined with other art porcelain, where its characterful form is allowed to stand out clearly.

At DPH - Danish Porcelain House, we particularly value porcelain that can unite decorative strength with cultural-historical interest, and this Bing & Grøndahl bowl is a fine example of exactly that.
