Danish Modern 7 Krenit Salad Bowls Herbert Krenchel Torben Orskov Denmark 1950s

About the Item

A set of Danish Mid Century Modern 7 Krenit Bowls in the original first size, 4. 90 “diameter, that was created by Herbert Krenchel in 1953. Torben Orskov of Denmark was the original retailer of the Krenit bowls until 1964. The Krenit came in 9 sizes and numerous colors. This set include two Red bowls, 2 Baby blue, 2 Lime Green and one White. Condition: Both of the red bowls have a minor chip, all other in Very Good condition. Black finish shows minor wear inherent to Krenit bowls, consistent with age and use. Please look at all images. Measurements: 4 7/8 inches diameter x 2 3/8 inches height The stamp on the bottom would sometimes rub off since the base is flat and the logo applied over the finish product. The stamp reads H.KRENCHEL -DENMARK and logo. One red bowl has an Illums Bolighus Department Store in Denmark, foil label. Herbert Krenchel was a Danish material researcher and designer who became obessed with creating a very thin metal salad bowl after seeing the popularity, at the time, of Americans and Danes to serve large leafy green salads. Krenchel created a process where a very shiny and durable colored enamel could be applied to the inside of the bowl and keeping a matte black finish on the outside and the Krenit (1953-1964) salad bowl came to be. The original bowl was named C-bowl ( 12.5 cm / 4.9 inches diameter). A design firm founded in 1953 by Torben Ørskov was entrusted for the sales of the newly developed Krenit bowls. In 2007, the Normann Copenhagen company reintroduced the Krenit bowl in new colors including Gold and real Silver with the iconic black matte finish on the outside.
