Here's another small dish designed by Maria Philippi.
Made by Soholm Pottery, Bornholm, Denmark, the dish dates from around 1965. It's a simple, yet well-balanced shape, the design is typical of the style of the 1960s, the colours work well together, and there's a lovely tactile feel to surface of the pot – four factors that ensured this little dish would make its way into the Potshot collection.
Great post; what a beautiful dish!
ReplyDeleteI have a plate/trinket dish in the same pattern, but with a darker glaze. I'm trying to find out exactly when it was made... I'd love to know where you get your dates from.
I have a Maria Philippi wall plaque , I think she was at Soholm in 1963... but not totally certain.
ReplyDeleteMaria Philippi was at Soholm for about 3 years, from 1962 until 1964 - her designs were produced until the 70s. Here is a little biography:
