About the Item

Rare mid-century Danish wall decor designed by Marianne Starck for the famous Danish ceramic workshop Michael Andersen & Søn (MA&S) on the island of Bornholm. Made ca 1960s. The decor with young ladies in a row is handpainted. It is made with Persia technique, a special craquelee technique which was developed at Michael Andersen & Søn in the 1930s by David Andersen. They won a gold medal for this at the Worlds Fair in Brussels in 1935. The firing has a large influence on the color and how the colors melt into each other giving every piece a unique expression.
