A rare and early Hoganas green frog bowl. Swedish Art Nouveau. 1890-1910
August 10, 2018
A rare and early Hoganas bowl. Designed very much in the Art Nouveau style. The base is signed’Hoganas IJ’. The bowl has a very stylised and quirky design with two frogs staring at each other from either end. The bowl is decorated with a pale green glaze with darker areas. 18.6 cm long x 7.8 cm tall x 5.6 cm wide. The bowl is in good vintage condition. There is some crazing to the glaze commensurate with age. During manufacture the base has been cut and where it has been cut there is an opening and a few small nibbles to the thicker glaze at the base. I have taken a number of close up pictures to show these areas. It does display well. It is a rare and early beautifully designed bowl with real character. I have taken a number of pictures to try and give as accurate a description as possible. Any questions please just ask. Check out my other listings for more vintage items.
