Oversized Scandinavian stoneware wall plaque from the Danish studio of Søholm. Designed by Joseph Simon and carrying his signature to the lower right corner. Featuring a male and female on a stylized horse with bird to the rear symbolising a wedding ceremony. Finished in highly glazed bright colours with glass “craquelee” effect contrasting beautifully with the unglazed terracotta toned stoneware elements. Strong metal wall hanger to the rear along with the Søholm studio marks and a model code “3539”. It also has the word “stentøj” meaning stoneware in Danish. 345mm square by 30mm deep. 3.7kgs. Excellent vintage order. Circa late 60’s / early 70’s Denmark. Søholm is a Danish studio based on the island of Bornholm.
