Decorated with a stylised bird rendered in carved relief, the piece showcases Borelius’s distinctive blend of Scandinavian modernism and expressive studio pottery.

The interior features layered green, teal, and brown glazes that form a dynamic feather-like pattern around the bird motif. The textured stoneware body, chamotte-rich clay, and matte exterior are characteristic of Borelius’s mid-century production. The contrast between the raw exterior surface and the glossy, detailed interior enhances the sculptural presence of the bowl.

with its substantial 34 cm diameter, this is one of her more impactful decorative works—ideal as a centerpiece or as part of a curated mid-century ceramic collection. This piece has an attribution mark,
