Description :
An exceptional and highly collectible mid-century modern square ceramic dish or shallow bowl from the celebrated "Tenera" line, produced by Aluminia / Royal Copenhagen, Denmark. This piece features the iconic, vibrant "Fantasy Bird" or peacock motif designed by the renowned artist Marianne Johnson. The composition showcases her signature artistic language: a highly stylized, dense pattern of flora and fauna, hand-painted in a rich palette of deep cobalt blue, emerald green, and contrasting dark accents over a crisp white tin glaze (fajance). The fluid brushwork is beautifully framed by a broad, gradient blue border that echoes the deep coloration of the central bird. Introduced in the late 1950s and extending through the 1960s under the artistic direction of Nils Thorsson, the Tenera series brought together a small group of young female artists from Scandinavia to create bold, expressive, and richly decorated graphics that redefined Danish art pottery of the era. This specific form and motif remains one of the most recognizable and coveted designs from that historic collaboration.
