Nils Thorsson designed the beautiful "Tenera" series in the 1960s while he was art director of Royal Copenhagen-Aluminia. Thorsson designed most of the shapes in this series, and the group of artists and designers under his direction each designed their own patterns. The design for this specific bowl was created by Kari Christensen and manufactured by Aluminia. Signed KC and by the painter's initials (VL) and stamped on the base with the Aluminia logo. Aluminia was a Danish pottery, established in Copenhagen in 1863. In 1882, the owners of Aluminia bought the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory. The factories operated independently under their respective trade names until 1969, when the use of the Aluminia name was discontinued. Since then, the products have been sold under the Royal Copenhagen brand. The number on the top line is the design number, and the bottom number is the shape or model number. In very good condition.
