Wonderful large "Putto" figure handmade in the 1930s at Michael Andersen & Sons, Denmark. The figure is made from earthenware and is covered in a beautiful fat grey craquelé glazing. Stamped with the manufacturers logo (3 fishes) underneath. Michael Andersen & Sons was a famous danish ceramics workshop established in 1890 at the small island of Bornholm, Denmark. They were one of Denmarks finest ceramics workshops. with traditional names such as "Søholm", "Michael Andersen" and "Hjorth's Keramik", Bornholm has managed to place itself heavily on the Danish map within ceramics and handicrafts. Just like Japanese ceramics, Bornholm ceramics are characterized by a very high quality – and has been ever since the early 1800s, when the first ceramics and terracotta factories were established on the island. In many Danish homes today there are still ceramic mugs, plates and other useful and art objects made on Bornholm. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
