Pair of Krenit bowls by Herbert Krenchel

This 'krenit' bowl was designed by mechanical engineer Herbert Krenchel and his good friend Torben Ørskov who put them in production in 1953. The bowls consist out of a millimetre-thick steel plate that was enamelled black on the outside with a glossy colour inside. They were made in nine different sizes; the smallest was about 10 cm and the largest about 38 cm. All were black outside, but in eight different colours on the inside. This particular pair of bowls has a white and a red inside and a diameter of 16 cm. It is in a very good condition, with only smaller signs of age and use. The bowl is unmarked at the bottom.
