Pair of earthenware pot covers from Ellen Malmer's Baca series for Royal Copenhagen

Pair of earthenware pot covers from the baca series, one of the last series designed by nils thorsson (1898-1975) for aluminia whose name disappeared in 1969 to make way for that of royal copenhagen. They are marked under the base: 617 for the décor created by ellen malmer and 3623 for the shape created by ellen malmer in 1968, as well as the signature of ellen malmer inscribed in a ring. Indeed, the word baca meaning "ring", the signature of each artist who created a decor, appears in a circle on the back of each piece in the series. The small bar under the "g" of copenhagen, indicates that these pot covers were produced between 1969 and 1973.
