Queen Margrethe II (b. 1940) Hand-colored ceramic bowl. H: 7 cm Ø: 13.3 cm. Signed. Margrethe. cd

The bowl was hand-colored by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, during a summer visit to the ceramic couple Leo and Karen Enna at their workshop in Dynt in the 1950s.

"It was one day in the mid-50s, during his summer stay at Gråsten Castle, King Frederik passed by the school building, where the walls with painted potter's vines testified to the activities of the place. After seeing the workshop, he managed to get the princesses to come visit and were allowed to work with the materials. It was to become a regular routine for ten years that Margrethe would come to Dynt every day during her summer vacation to Leo and Karen Enna and use her artistic skills to paint jars, birdbaths and tiles as gifts for the family and every year a piece signed to Karen and Leo Enna as a thank you for the stay. Today, there are also several of Enna's products on display at Gråsten and Marselisborg." Litt: Antik & Auktion no: 4, year. 1999, pp. 18-19.
