Crafted from glazed earthenware, it serves as a sophisticated accent piece for collectors of 20th-century Nordic design. Exceptional condition details include its original paper manufacturer label alongside deep, crisp base stamps. Materials: Glazed earthenware / ceramic Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Features original paper manufacturer label intact. Markings: Fully stamped with "UE", model number "3116", and Thomson's "ALT" signature mark to the underside. Dimensions Height: 16 cm (6.3 in)
