Very few of these were made, and on the rare occasion I have seen any offered for sale at auction, the price realized has often been in the 500+ Eu...ro range, IF you can find one for sale, at all. Even with a LOT of research, I was only able to find one other piece with this glaze, in a somewhat larger size, for US $1200.00.
Signed: Three wavy lines of Royal Copenhagen with DENMARK, stylized NT initials + incised shape number 20994 on the bottom.
It measures about 2 3/4" (70mm) tall by 2 3/4" (70mm) in diameter.
Provenance: This piece has been in our personal collection of artifacts since my aunt's death in 1997; she was the original owner. The piece has been well cared for in a smoke free home; it is in perfect condition with no chips, scratches or other damage, essentially "as new."
Dates to about the early 1960's (maybe late 1950's?); the glaze is really beautiful and "soft, " as is typical of mid-century Danish art pottery. Very rare opportunity to acquire one of Thorsson's finest original (not mass produced) art pieces!
NOTE: This will be shipped via PRIORITY MAIL, both to the USA and overseas. If you're an international buyer, duties and taxes are 100% YOUR responsibility!
We are just individuals selling our stuff; not "dealers!" We are thinning out some of our rather extensive collection of home decor, original art, art books, catalogues, antiques, old stamp collections and other collectibles. The kids have left home and have expressed that they are "not interested" and we are basically "downsizing" and simplifying our lives. This is an ongoing process that will last many months (years?)... hope our treasures find good homes and enjoyment elsewhere; we have loved having them, but now they need new happy homes!
