Lot 457: Hyllested Keramik Danish Pottery Figurine

Description

Description:

A Danish studio pottery figurine by Hyllested Keramik, marked "Hyllested Keramik, Made in Denmark" on the base. The figure depicts a person in a hooded white parka with dark trim, hands tucked into pockets, and dark boots, with hair styled in a high topknot rendered in a glossy black glaze. The stylized dress suggests an Arctic or Greenlandic-inspired subject, a genre of figural design that was popular among mid-20th-century Danish and Scandinavian pottery studios, reflecting Denmark's historical ties to Greenland. The figure is glazed in a soft mottled cream and brown palette with a matte, unglazed stoneware base.

Condition Report:

Good vintage condition, wear commensurate with age. No visible chips or cracks. Light surface wear to the base consistent with age and handling.
