Designed by Jens Quistgaard – Made in France
A quintessential piece of Mid-Century Modern functional art, this Dansk Kobenstyle casserole dish is a masterclass in Scandinavian utility. Designed in 1954 by renowned French sculptor and designer Jens Quistgaard, the Kobenstyle line is celebrated for its lightweight yet durable construction and its iconic "cross" handle lid.
This specific piece is an authentic vintage example finished in a deep, glossy chocolate brown enamel. The underside features the desirable "Dansk Designs France" hallmark, dating it to a prime era of production known for superior enamel quality and craftsmanship.
Design Highlights:
The Iconic Lid: The sculptural four-point handle is designed to be inverted and used as a built-in trivet for the hot pot, allowing for seamless stove-to-table service.
Material: Heavy-gauge steel coated in a thick, vitreous enamel that provides excellent heat retention and a smooth, non-reactive cooking surface.
The Silhouette: Features Quistgaard’s signature "loop" handles and a gently tapered body that has earned the line a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
Condition & Specifications:
Color: Chocolate Brown
Origin: Made in France
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The interior enamel is remarkably clean and bright with minimal signs of use. The exterior retains a high-gloss finish. Minor "flea bites" or pin-sized enamel losses typical of vintage Kobenstyle may be present on the rim, consistent with age and careful handling.
