About the Item

Figure of elderly man, Jens Petersen, signed JP. Measuring 24 cm. In perfect condition. The collection was exhibited in the autumn of 2003 in Esbjerg Museum, "Soren Kongstrand & Jens Petersen." Soren Kongstrand was an autodidact potter. In 1907 he began to experiment with ceramic, attempts that he as a rich businessman had the opportunity to pay for. In 1911 he made his debut at the Fall Exhibition. SK was a magician who worked with a material he sometimes found difficult to tame, but perhaps therefore resulting in works that exudes a particular strength. It was a goal for SK to get the glaze to resemble nature's strength, eg. rime frost, gull eggs and the like. Kongstrand was especially famous for his luster glazes.
