Add a touch of Scandinavian charm to your table or shelf with this mid-century Heide Mosaic (Denmark) dish. Hand-set stone tesserae form concentric rings around a stylized swan motif at the center.
The palette of soft greys, creams, browns, and charcoal gives it a clean, Danish-modern look, while the weighty mosaic construction feels wonderfully substantial in the hand.
Turn it over and you’ll find the Heide Mosaic • Denmark mark. Lovely as a small centerpiece, entry catchall, dresser trinket dish, or simply displayed upright on a stand.
