Nils Thorsson Royal Copenhagen Baca Series Porcelain Box

This is a vintage square porcelain lidded box from the 'Baca' series, designed by renowned ceramicist Nils Thorsson for Royal Copenhagen/Alumina in Denmark, likely dating to the 1960s or 1970s. The piece features a deep cobalt blue glaze with a matte, slightly textured finish. The flat lid includes a recessed square central panel decorated with a repeating heart or leaf motif in a contrasting celadon or light grey glaze against a dark background, characteristic of the mid-century modern Scandinavian aesthetic. The box measures approximately 3 to 4 inches square. The craftsmanship is high, with clean lines and a precisely fitting lid. While the bottom mark is not visible, these pieces typically bear the Royal Copenhagen crown or Alumina 'A' mark alongside Thorsson's signature cipher. The condition appears excellent with a rich, even patina on the glaze and no visible chips, cracks, or significant abrasions. This item is highly sought after by collectors of 20th-century ceramic design due to its distinctive color palette and geometric graphic style.
