Mid-Century 1950s Ceramic Dishes – Hand-Painted ‘Hawaii’ Sgraffito - Set of Two
Couldn't load pickup availability
A stunning pair of hand-decorated ceramic dishes from West Germany, made in the 1950s in the Hawaii pattern - one of the most striking designs of the era. The rhythmic sgraffito lines and warm bands of brown, orange and yellow capture the optimistic, sun-soaked mood of postwar modernism.
Made by ILKRA (Edel Keramik), a respected West German pottery known for its expressive glazes and distinctive hand-painted decor. Each piece is unique in its shape and painting: one is a shallow triangular plate, the other a boat-shaped dish with a softly curved silhouette.
Together they make a sculptural set that appeals to both collectors and design lovers: graphic yet organic, bold yet beautifully balanced. Perfect as functional art pieces or simply to bring a warm, mid-century accent to any space. A rare find in this condition!
