A small bowl made by Swedish potter Gunnar Nylund. The NSR at the bottom is the model, which specifies the rectangular form and decorative pattern. At the bottom is a willow leaf painted symmetrically like a mirror image. The natural glaze and coloring that wraps the whole is very beautiful, and it has a particularly deep color among the NSR series, which has a different expression for each one. The bottom is engraved with GN, the initials of Gunnar Nylund.

■ Gunnar Nylund (1904-1997)
Swedish potter. Born in Paris, received primary education in Denmark, studied architecture in Finland, and then trained in ceramics in Denmark. Initially worked as a designer at Bing O Grendal in Denmark, but from 1931 to 1955 he worked for Rorstrand in Sweden. Many of Nylund's famous works were created during his time in Sweden, and are particularly characterized by his style in which the natural glaze colors the vessels in mottled patterns. The style has an affinity with Japanese tableware, but in Northern Europe at the time, tableware was generally glazed and baked. The method was novel.
