Small Glazed Stoneware Bowl – Birgit Knupfer – La Borne, 2020s

Small glazed stoneware bowl by Birgit Knupfer, a Danish ceramist based in La Borne.

The piece has a low, slightly flared shape, mounted on a small unglazed stoneware foot. Its matte, slightly nuanced ivory-white glaze is punctuated with fine brown and black spots. The rim and foot reveal the natural variations of the material and firing.

Both understated and tactile, this bowl illustrates Birgit Knupfer's work, characterized by simple forms, subtle glazes, and a particular attention to the natural qualities of stoneware.
