Biography:

Founded in 1904 in Copenhagen, the Georg Jensen house is one of the most prestigious Scandinavian silversmithing and design manufacturers. Renowned for combining artisanal craftsmanship with modernist aesthetics, it collaborated with major figures of 20th-century Danish design. Its creations, whether in sterling silver, silver-plated metal, or stainless steel, are distinguished by an organic vocabulary and sober forms inspired by nature. This dish illustrates the pursuit of fluidity and functionality, typical of Scandinavian design from the 1950s to the 1970s.
