Just Andersen Bowl in alloyed bronze (LB 512), c. 1940s. Large round art deco dish with a wide rim decorated with geometric inlaid bands.

Dimensions: H. 3 cm, D. 32 cm. Period: 1940s. Condition: Very good condition with natural patina and light signs of wear. Bio: Just Andersen (1884–1943) was a leading figure in Danish art deco metal design. He developed his own alloys, including Disko and LB, which allowed for rich patination and a sculptural surface quality. His works range from decorative to functional pieces, all marked by a refined balance of simplicity, elegance and material innovation.
