However his form and pattern designs from the 1950s-1970s, especially from the BACA and TENERA ranges, were and remain some of Royal Copenhagen’s most popular works coveted as being prime examples of mid-century and Danish modernism. Nils motifs and designs ranged from the naturalistic to abstract to geometric designs – the best of these are those with the beautiful highly detailed and complex relief patterns from the BACA series. The square fajance bottles from the Baca series have continued in their popularity for decades, and are often the first piece people start a collection of Nils Thorsson. Also, because of the glaze Nils developed for the Baca series, each piece turned out slightly different because of the way the glaze behaved during firing in the kiln – giving each piece in the series a hand crafted appearance.
