Modern Krenit Large Enamel Salad Bowl Herbert Krenchel Torben Ørskov Denmark

About the Item

A large Mid Century Danish Modern Krenit Enameled Salad Serving Bowl in Tomato Red by Herbert Krenchel for Torben Orskov of Denmark from the 1960s. 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: Very Good. Black finish shows minor wear consistent with age and use inherent to the Krenit bowls, not bad. Please look at all images. Measurements: 9 7/8 inches diameter x 4 3/4 inches height. 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. 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 bowls in different colors including Gold and real Silver with the iconic black matte finish on the outside.
