Gmunden Keramik Bowl – Green Wavy Stripe | Grüne Wellenband | approx. 22 cm | Austrian Folk Ceramics

Gmunden Keramik Bowl | Green Wavy Stripe (Grüne Wellenband) | approx. 22 cm | Austrian Folk Ceramics

Gmunden Keramik is one of Austria’s most beloved and iconic ceramic traditions — produced in the lakeside town of Gmunden, Upper Austria, since the 19th century, and instantly recognisable by its signature green wavy stripe (Grüne Wellenband) on bright white earthenware. This is not merely vintage tableware — it is a piece of living Austrian cultural heritage, collected and cherished across generations.

This generous serving bowl displays the classic hand-applied green wavy stripe running in horizontal bands around the exterior’s fluted, ribbed sides — each stripe slightly irregular in the way that only hand-decoration produces, giving the piece its warmth and authenticity. The interior is plain white with a clean, food-safe glaze. The base bears the embossed mould number 3600 and the characteristic Gmunden maker’s mark.

At approx. 22 cm diameter, this is a genuinely useful size — ideal for salad, fruit, pasta, or as a centrepiece on a dressed table. A piece that brings the warmth of an Austrian farmhouse kitchen into any home.
