Footed porcelain bowl from the “Athene” series by Anna-Lisa Thomson for Upsala Ekeby, Sweden, 1950–1953.
Rendered in a soft matte grey glaze with raised white relief, the design depicts a stylized female profile framed by rhythmic, leaf-like forms—an interpretation rooted in classical motifs yet distinctly modern in execution.
The shallow, gently flared bowl sits on a small pedestal foot, giving the piece a light, architectural presence. The contrast between the subdued ground and sculptural relief lends quiet depth and refinement, characteristic of Thomson’s early 1950s work.
A sculptural cabinet object that functions equally well as a vide-poche or display piece.
Marked to underside.
Dimensions: 8" L x 7.5" W x 3" H
