About the Item

Vividly glazed in tones of ruddy brown, blue and white, this substantial charger or low bowl depicting a helmeted knight in profile was designed and glazed by by Carl-Harry Stalhane. Influenced, no doubt by Picasso's work with the Madoura potters in southern France, this piece shows the same vivid palette, and vigorous, free brushwork. This piece was made for the famed Rorstrand porcelain works in Sweden, which made important works in the Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Mid Century period. The bottom is well marked.
