Dora: a Bjørn Wiinblad lady carrying a woven basket
DesignerBjørn Wiinblad1918–2006
Dora is a smiling Bjørn Wiinblad figure who carries a basket with a woven look on her head. The design is rooted in Wiinblad's original centrepiece and his 1960s archive, scaled down for today's home in glossy glazed ceramic, deep blue with pink details.

A face you recognise
Triangular nose, almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks are the classic Wiinblad features, all present on Dora.
A bowl with character
The basket on her head is the bowl, ready for fruit on the kitchen counter or dining table.
Details worth a look
Circles and dots on her neck, a dotted headband with a wavy line and a small rose at the bottom of the bowl.
Made to be given
Dora means gift in Greek, which makes her an easy choice for a present.
From the Wiinblad archive
Bjørn Wiinblad loved shapes and figures that were both sculptural and avant-garde. Dora goes back to one of his original centrepieces and to drawings from the 1960s, reworked in a smaller format that fits a modern table or sideboard.
A basket on her head
The fruit bowl measures 25 cm across and stands 20.5 cm tall. Its woven pattern reads like a basket balanced on Dora's head, and the inside hides a small pink rose that becomes the top of her head when the bowl is empty.
Blue with rosy cheeks
Deep blue glaze carries pink cheeks, a rose, fine circles and graceful dots. Place Dora on the kitchen counter, at the centre of the dining table or on a sideboard, filled or simply left on show.
Materials
- Glazed ceramic
- A glossy glaze gives the blue its depth and makes the surface easy to wipe clean.
- Decal decoration
- The pink details and patterns are applied as decals inspired by Wiinblad's original artworks; avoid abrasive sponges that could wear them.
- Hand care
- Dora is not dishwasher safe; wipe her with a damp cloth and dry with a soft towel.
Born in Østerbro, Copenhagen, Bjørn Wiinblad trained as a typographer, then studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and debuted in 1945. He worked with Nymølle for more than 30 years and with Rosenthal for almost 50, and lived and worked in the Blue House in Kongens Lyngby from 1966.
Using it at home
Can the Dora fruit bowl go in the dishwasher?
No. Clean it by hand with a damp cloth and dry it straight away.
How big is the Dora fruit bowl?
It is 25 cm in diameter and 20.5 cm tall, roomy enough for a generous pile of fruit.
Can I use it for food?
It is designed as a fruit bowl; for loose or moist food, a napkin or plate underneath keeps the decorated surface clean.
Where does Dora look best?
On a kitchen counter, at the centre of the dining table or on a sideboard where her face can be seen.
Does Dora come in other forms?
Yes, the Dora figure also appears as a candle holder for taper candles and tealights in the same blue and pink colourway.
