Fruit Bowl (Germany)
This is a Fruit bowl. It was designed by Margarete H. L. Marks. It is dated 1920–40 and we acquired it in 1996. Its medium is molded and glazed earthenware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Margarete H. L. Marks founded the Haël-Werkstätten, or Haël Workshops for Artistic Ceramics, in Brandenberg, Germany, in 1923. A student of the Bauhaus, Marks created a line of Modern ceramics with clean lines and bold colors. This bowl’s simple design echoes Bauhaus style while providing a simple canvas for its vibrant turquoise crackle-glazed ground, topped with an airbrushed, abstract looping design, highlighted by textured bright yellow strokes.
