Knud Basse - Figure - Stoneware

Rare ceramic cat designed by the designer Knud Basse (Denmark, circa 1960s).

A beautiful example of Danish mid-century studio ceramics, designed by Knud Basse (1916–1990), one of the most renowned ceramic artists within the Scandinavian Modern period. This stylized cat perfectly illustrates why his work is so beloved: pure lines, soft contours, and a sculptural calm that feels timeless.

Description:

This elegant cat sculpture is executed in a dark gray–black speckled glaze, subtly glossy and characteristic of Basse’s work from the 1950s–1960s. The form has been reduced to its essence: flowing curves, a distinctive sitting posture, and fine detailing in the snout and ears.
An object that appears both modern and warm — perfect as a sculptural accent in Danish or minimalist interiors.

A must-have for enthusiasts and collectors of Scandinavian design, difficult to find, and it also falls into the higher price segment.
