Here, broad strokes of chalk-white glaze cut across a ground of glittering, almost volcanic black, and the joints between the hand-made tiles are left to show, so the pattern breaks up like a mosaic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top sits on a blackened steel base of three curved legs, braced in the middle. It's simple enough to let the ceramic do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKrüger signed his work, and his OBK monogram is fired into the glaze near the edge. Most of Krüger's tables turn up as timber-framed rectangles. A round top on a steel base is far rarer, and in all our years we haven't seen another quite like it. It's the kind of piece that gets talked about every time someone puts a cup of coffee down on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e108 cm diameter × 50 cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: very good vintage condition, with no chips to the ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67779394240834,"sku":"SQ9350456","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9271\/8658\/files\/15439860793666.png?v=1792371870","url":"https:\/\/bazaa.com.au\/products\/ceramic-coffee-table-ole-bjorn-kruger-norway-circa-1970","provider":"Bazaa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
