Jens Quistgaard Staved Teak Bowl for Dansk Design, Denmark, 1950s
Located in Utrecht, NL
Jens H. Quistgaard set out to design beautiful things for everyday use, which is an essentially Scandinavian approach to design in general. Over the course of his prolific and varied design career, Jens Quistgaard created objects that are a meditation on the possibilities of shape for a common household object. Intriguing and fantastical, the variety of forms the sculptor manifested expand the vocabulary of functional design, calling on an array of familiar references including natural shapes. This solid wood bowl is a beautiful example of this, with an organic shape and an immediately visible level of craftsmanship. This rare model is an early iteration of the teak Viking...

Scandinavian Modern Saara Hopea two sizes Glass Bowls Blue Green Handblown 1950s
Located in EL Waalre, NL
Scandinavian Modern Saara Hopea two sizes Glass Bowls Blue Green Handblown 1950s Two mold-blown, clear, dark-blue and moss-green cased glass Art-objects / bowls, model SH117. Designed by Saara Hopea in 1956 and executed by Nuutajärvi-Notsjö in 1958 & 1959. An optical effect makes it appear as if the colour goes to the outer edges but the encasing is only in the interior. These objects were made between 1956 and 1967 in two sizes 9,5 cm and 13,5 cm in diameter, and in several colours (blue, green, yellow, purple and red) this being a complete set in green and blue. Both are early production examples. They are marked and dated in diamond pen underneath the base. About Saara Hopea Saara Elisabet Hopea (Porvoo 1925 - Porvoo 1984) was a Finnish designer of Art-glass, furniture and jewellery. Saara Hopea was born in 1925 in Porvoo, in the south of Finland. Her parents Ossian Hopea and Lempi Westerlund owned a goldsmithing company. After attending secondary school, Hopea studied at the Interior Design Department of the Central School of Art and Design, now the Aalto University of Art and Design. She graduated in 1946, and worked for a few years as an illustrator, then she accepted a job at the lighting factory of Taito Oy, headed by the renowned designer Paavo Tynell. In the early 1950's, Saara Hopea became interested in glass design and started working at the Nuutajärvi glass factory, where she worked under artistic director Kaj Franck. After her father's death, Saara Hopea took over the direction of the family business Ossian Hopea Oy in 1959. She worked as the artistic director from 1959 to 1960 and again from 1967 and was responsible for numerous jewellery designs. In 1960 Saara Hopea married Oppi Untracht...

Antique Indian Silver Sugar Bowl, Circa 1900
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
This exceptional antique Indian sterling silver sugar bowl has a circular form onto a spreading foot. The body of this exceptional silver bowl is embellished with impressive chased leaf decoration, accented with a central broad interlacing band comprising six panels. Each panel is ornamented with an impressive chased Hindu deity, each surmounting an iconic animal*, including: peacock, elephant and leopard. The raised shoulders of the sugar bowl are encompassed with an applied moulded border accented with leaf designs. This exceptional Indian silver bowl is fitted with an impressive C shaped cast silver handle, realistically modelled in the form of an elephant's head and trunk. The hallmarks struck to the underside of this exceptional sugar bowl include: Maker's mark: T. R. Tawker & Sons Town mark: Madras NOTE: * Each Hindu deity has a 'vahana' which translates as 'that which carries/pulls'. Due to the extensive array of the Hindu gods and goddesses, it can be determined that those displayed on this piece may include: Saraswati or Kartikya (the peacock), Vishwakarma or Indra (the elephant), Vayu (the horse) and Durga (the lion). This impressive antique sugar bowl has been crafted in the same style as the teapot C7531; these pieces would sit very well together as a set. This impressive bowl has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as sterling silver (925, 925/1000). Condition This antique Indian silver bowl...

Bronze Stripper Frederic Debon

Bronze stripper Frederic Debon Signed Federic Debon Material bronze Foundry Susse Frers stamping Paris. Art nouveau, modernist art or modernism was an international artistic and decorative movement, developed between approximately 1890 and 1914. The 'new art', as its name in French, was an original, youthful and modern style. The art nouveau cultural movement emerged at the end of the 19th century and remained until the beginning of the 20th century, seeking to contrast with industrialization after the second industrial revolution. Art nouveau uses motifs inspired by nature or organic materials to capture sensuality and eroticism in decorative art objects, characteristic of this movement. Art nouveau encompasses the fields of painting, sculpture, literature, decoration, photography, and the design of jewelry...

Vintage, New and Antique Decorative Bowls

Vintage, new and antique decorative bowls have been an important part of the home for centuries, although their uses have changed over the years. While functional examples of bowls date back thousands of years, ornamental design on bowls as well as baskets likewise has a rich heritage, from the carved bowls of the Maya to the plaited river-cane baskets of Indigenous people in the Southeast United States.

Decorative objects continue to bring character and art into a space. An outdoor gathering can become a sophisticated garden party with the addition of a few natural-fiber baskets to hold blankets or fruit on a table, as demonstrated in the interior design work by firms such as Alexander Design.

Elsewhere, Richard Haining’s reclaimed wood vases and bowls can express eco-consciousness. Sculptural handmade cast concrete bowls like those made by the Oakland, California–based UMÉ Studio introduce compelling textures to your dining room table.

Minimalist ceramic decorative bowls of varying colors can evoke a feeling of human connectedness through their association with handmade craftsmanship, such as in the rooms envisioned by South African interior designer Kelly Hoppen. And you can elevate any space with ceramic bowls that match the color scheme.

Browse the 1stDibs collection of decorative bowls and explore the endless options available.
