Who are the famous Danish ceramicists?
1 Answer
There are several famous Danish ceramicists. Denmark has been known for its pottery for more than three centuries. Some created pieces for Royal Copenhagen, a world-renowned pottery company founded in 1775. Among them were Axel Salto, Gertrud Vasegaard, Hans Henrik Hansen and Gunnar Nylund. Others, like Thorvald Bindesbøll, worked for Frauens Levarefabrik or independently in their own studios, like Helle Allpass. Notable contemporary potters continue the country’s tradition of excellence in the field of ceramics. Among them is Bodil Manz. Find a wide variety of Danish pottery on 1stDibs.
