About the Item

Danish Mid Century Modern large Krenit Salad Serving Bowl in Lime green designed by Herbert Krenchel and retailed by Torben Ørskov. The Krenit bowls came in 9 sizes and numerous colors. 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 clearly H.KRENCHEL -DENMARK and logo. Condition: From the late 50s Very Good. Two very small flakes on the rim. Minor wear consistent with age and use. Black finish shows minor wear consistent with age and use inherent to the Krenit bowls, not bad. Please look at all images. Measurements: 10 inches diameter x 5 1/2 inches height. Please look at our other Krenit listings. 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 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.
