This is a wonderful ‘Engobe’ pottery bowl made by Dutch artist Wim Fiege (1914-1978). He used engobe slurry as a way to give his works a distinct decoration. ‘Engobes itself are slurries that are applied to hard or dry ceramics and fire opaque. They are used for functional or decorative purposes.’ It’s a quintessentially mid-century piece of studio pottery with very elegant and stylish decoration. A wonderful little bowl for display on a desk, sideboard or in a display cabinet. In good vintage condition, signed at the base. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
