Saxbo, large dish.

Saxbo, large dish. Large round stoneware dish with a low, simple form and deep dark blue glaze. The dish features subtle concentric decoration around the rim. The underside is marked with Saxbo’s yin-yang mark. Origin: Denmark. Material: Stoneware. Dimensions: D. 26 cm. Period: Circa 1949–1968. Condition: Excellent condition with minor signs of wear. Bio: Saxbo was founded in 1929 by Nathalie Krebs (1895–1978) and Gunnar Nylund and was continued by Krebs after Nylund’s departure. Krebs was trained as a chemical engineer and developed a range of distinctive stoneware glazes that became a central characteristic of Saxbo’s production. The workshop held a prominent position in 20th-century Danish stoneware and closed in 1968. The encircled yin-yang mark was used from 1949 to 1968.
