Mid 20th Century Danish Krenit White Enamel Bowl Designed by Herbert Krenchel

“Herbert Krenchel’s desire was to make a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that would be used in the kitchen as well as on the dining table; a design piece that would exude high quality and exclusivity.”I am excited about shapes and structures. The surface on a design object is important because it makes people want to reach out for it. I also believe that there has to be a balance between function and aesthetics. A good design must therefore contain more than one aspect to make the perfect overall impression,” [sic: he] stated.

Production of the original Krenit bowls ceased in 1964. By that time about 1 million bowls had been sold as of 1953.

Offered is a classic mid 20th Century Danish Krenit white enamel on black matte metal bowl. The bowl stands on a narrow flat rounded base and is of deep rounded form with the inner bowl decorated in a vibrant white enamel within a black matte shell.

The conical-shaped bowl measures 9.875″ in diameter, has a round flat base that is 3″ in diameter, and is 5.5″ in height / depth.

Note: The vintage Ikea “Sydlig” white plastic salad servers are props, not included with the bowl.
