Jens H. Quistgaard - Bowl - Teak

A vintage teak bowl designed by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk Designs, Denmark.

The piece is marked with "Dansk Designs Denmark IHQ" and dates from the 1950s.

Such pieces are made of solid teak and may show signs of wear appropriate to their age.

This specific stamp — with only letters and without the later logos such as the "four ducks" — was used in the mid to late 1950s (from about 1954 to around 1959).

It indicates an early, highly sought-after production period.

From the 1960s, a large portion of production shifted to other countries and stickers or other logos were used.
