Anyone for a great display bowl, also usable? Here's the famous Krenit Bowl, iconic of the 1950s through 1970s. Large / tall salad bowl size with tomato orange-red enameled interior and matte black steel metal exterior. This is the real deal, not the reproduction melamine interior. The bowl is in very good condition except for a chip in the enamel at the bottom side of the bowl which shows on both inside and outside (see pics) but does not go through and has only the faintest rust. (Enamel is hard to maintain, which is why the bowl was reissued with a melamine interior and the same exterior.) The exterior needs oiling but is otherwise the great matte black finish; the interior is also in very good condition except for the chip. When in use or displayed at an angle (think tall buffet or high shelf, not tabletop) the chip does not show (see photos). The top edge is in very good condition; oiling it is recommended to protect it. Size: 10" W at top x 5-5/8" T.
Designed by Herbert Krenchel, Danish Scandinavian designer, in the 1950s, the bowl was produced through 1966. Design Within Reach says this about the Krenit Bowl: "Krenchel’s now-iconic Krenit (a combination of his name and Eternit, the name of a fiber cement he used in his work) was the recipient of the gold medal at the 1954 Milan Triennial. Introduced in the early ’50s, the bowl was produced until 1966 and reintroduced by Normann Copenhagen in 2008."
