Originally created as functional ceramic molds, these pieces today stand as highly sculptural objects with a strong architectural presence. The rhythmic grid of raised oval forms creates a bold geometric composition, characteristic of Scandinavian brutalist design.

Crafted in heavy stoneware, the surfaces display a rich natural patina with mineral deposits, wear, and tonal variations developed over time. These qualities enhance their visual depth and authenticity.

Stamped “Patent Anm. Kai Riis,” confirming their Danish origin.

Ideal as decorative wall objects, table sculptures, or part of a curated interior with a focus on materiality and form. Vintage condition with visible wear and patina consistent with age and use.

Surface marks, discoloration, and mineral deposits are present and contribute to the authentic brutalist character.

No cracks or structural damage observed.
