Albert Gustav Bunge Art Deco Enamel Rooster Bowl

Found in Germany

A charming Art Deco copper enamel bowl by renowned German artist Albert Gustav Bunge (1893–1967), featuring one of his signature stylized rooster designs rendered in vibrant cloisonné enamel against a beautifully textured blush pink ground.

Handcrafted circa 1940, this petite decorative bowl exemplifies Bunge's distinctive approach to Art Deco metalwork, blending geometric forms with playful, modernist imagery. The colorful rooster—composed of angular blocks of black, turquoise, purple, red, and ochre—stands boldly against the crackled pink enamel surface, creating a striking contrast that has become synonymous with the artist's work.

Executed on copper and signed "AG Bunge" on the reverse, this bowl reflects the exceptional craftsmanship for which Albert Gustave Bunge became internationally recognized. His enamel works remain highly collectible for their quality, vibrant color palettes, and unmistakable Art Deco aesthetic.

Whether displayed on a bookshelf, cocktail table, vanity, or incorporated into a larger collection of Art Deco decorative arts, this piece offers both artistic significance and timeless decorative appeal.

Germany, c.1940

Collectors Notes

Albert Gustav Bunge is regarded as one of Belgium's finest enamel artists, producing some of the most distinctive decorative metalwork of the Art Deco period. His stylized birds, fish, and geometric motifs are immediately recognizable and continue to be sought after by collectors of European decorative arts.

While originally intended as a decorative bowl, we also love using pieces like this as a jewelry dish, catchall for rings, or simply displayed on a stand as a miniature work of art. It makes a thoughtful gift for collectors of Art Deco design, enamelwork, or European studio craftsmanship.

It's a fitting addition to our Home Decor collection, and a charming Wedding Gifts pick.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
