Description from the seller

P. Ipsens Enke – Axel Sørensen – Art Nouveau / Skønvirke shallow dish with Pekingese – model 204 – 1927

Special Danish ceramic dish by P. Ipsens Enke Kgl. Hof Terracottafabrik, executed with a sculpturally modeled Pekingese as the central decoration.

The design is attributed to the Danish artist and sculptor Axel Sørensen (1879–1961) and dates from around 1927. Sørensen designed several distinctive animal dishes for P. Ipsens Enke during this period. The offered example is model 204, a model that in specialized Scandinavian ceramic documentation is specifically described as a dish with a Pekingese.

The shallow, organically shaped dish is executed in the colors so characteristic of P. Ipsens Enke: warm orange-, brown-, and black tones combined with green. In the center sits the fully three-dimensionally modeled little dog, making the piece both a dish and a small ceramic sculpture, particularly decorative.

On 1stdibs it is for sale for €281.

The underside bears the factory mark with crown, IPE 204 IV and DENMARK.

Seller's Story

I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
