Georg Jensen sterling silver centerpiece bowl, designed by Henning Koppel in 1948, in pattern number 980A and in Mid-Century Modern style, standing on a three-legged base, with an elegant, flowing, and geometric design, transforming this silver piece into a true work of art. It measures 15 3/4'' by 15'' by 6 1/4'' in height, weighs 103.9 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks as shown. A sign of its significance is its mention in various books. Indeed, it is illustrated on page 65 of "The World of Henning Koppel" by Niels-Jorgen Kaiser (2000), on page 104 of "Georg Jensen 20th Century Designs" by Janet and William Drucker (2002), and on page 250 of "Georg Jensen A Tradition of Splendid Silver" by Janet Drucker (1997).

Danish silversmith Georg Jensen (1866-1935) set up his own silver business in 1904 in Copenhagen. Jensen's training in metalsmithing, along with his education in the fine arts, allowed him to combine the two disciplines and revive the tradition of the artist craftsman. Soon, the beauty and quality of his creations caught the eye of the public and his success was assured. In 1912, expansion of his studio began in earnest. By 1917, he had built a workshop brimming with hundreds of employees. Jensen was awarded the Grand Prix at the world exhibition in Paris in 1925 and again in Barcelona in 1929. The sale of Jensen silver went really well and in the early 1930s there were Jensen shops in Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, Geneva, Barcelona, Stockholm, St. Thomas, Buenos Aires and New York apart from the ones in Denmark. By his death in 1935, Georg Jensen was an international house of design where inspired artisans carried on a tradition of blending expert craftsmanship with forward-thinking design. In his obituary the New York Herald Tribune called him “the greatest silversmith of the last 300 years.”

Henning Koppel was a Danish sculptor and designer, who was associated with the well known Georg Jensen silver department during most of his career. During his life, Henning Koppel received many awards among them the gold medals in the Milan Triennial Italy in 1951, 1953 and 1957, and the International Design Award (USA) 1963.
