This sculptural ceramic wall relief was designed by Noomi Backhausen and produced by Søholm Keramik on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, c. 1970s. It represents a mature phase of Backhausen’s work, where strong modelling, tactile surfaces and expressive glazing are brought together in a balanced, architectural composition.
The relief is design model 4004, clearly marked on the reverse with the Søholm hallmark and form number. Executed in stoneware, the piece features deep sculptural carving and a rich, hand-applied glaze with subtle tonal variation. The layered surface creates pronounced depth and shadow, giving the relief a dynamic presence that changes with the light throughout the day.
Works by Noomi Backhausen from this period are highly regarded for their combination of artistic individuality and Søholm’s refined production standards. Each piece was hand-finished, resulting in natural variations that underline its unique character.
The condition is excellent vintage. The front surface is clean and well preserved with no chips, cracks or repairs. The reverse shows only minimal, age-consistent wear, and the original hanging wire remains intact, making the piece ready to mount.
A strong and collectible example of Danish ceramic wall art from the 1970s — ideal as a standalone statement or integrated into a curated gallery wall. This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
