Carl-Harry Stålhane “Galaxy” Bowl

A colourful glazed bowl designed by Carl-Harry Stålhane for Rörstrand, Sweden, circa 1960. 

This attractive bowl features a refined smoked white glaze to the outside, and an interior of vibrant purple with clouds of bright blue & cobalt. The spectacular effect and colouration is reminiscent of a nebula or distant galaxy.
