About the Item
Carl Johan Bonnesen, 1868–1933
Rare and impressive unique sculpture of two courting bears, crafted in glazed ceramic with a striking copper-rich glaze featuring vivid tonal variation. The glaze clearly references classical Song dynasty ceramics, reinterpreted in a bold and distinctly Nordic expression.
Signed: Carl J. Bonnesen
Denmark, c. 1900
About the artist:
Carl Johan Bonnesen was one of Denmark’s leading sculptors in the early 20th century, renowned for his powerful and naturalistic depictions of animals.
