Lot #12: Royal Copenhagen Stoneware Jar – Denmark (Mid-20th Century)

Offered here is an authentic Royal Copenhagen stoneware jar, crafted in Denmark and bearing the official factory stamp on the base. This piece exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century design, blending traditional blue-and-white landscape motifs with the refined restraint for which Royal Copenhagen is internationally known. The hand-decorated scene features stylized mountains, water, foliage, and village architecture, rendered in deep cobalt blue against a warm, creamy crackle glaze. Subtle iron speckling and kiln character throughout the surface confirm true studio-fired stoneware, not mass-produced porcelain. The contrasting ochre glaze at the rim and foot adds visual depth and balance.
