1980s Dansk Denmark Brown Mist Covered Casserole Serving Dish by Niels Refsgaard

About the Item

A vintage lidded casserole serving dish in Brown Mist by Niels Refsgaard for Dansk. You may know Dansk, if not don't worry I'll get to them later. For now, let's look at who Niels Refsgaard is. From a Dansk catalog, "Niels Refsgaard has been an integral part of the Dansk story for more than 60 years as a designer, creator, and brand champion. Niels prefers to be called a “simple country potter” and it is his amazing talent and devotion to his Craft that shines through in all that he creates. We can’t think of a design collaboration between brand and craftsman that has stood the test of time the way the Dansk and Refsgaard marriage has. That longevity has yielded much success along the way, as evidenced by the fact that so many of Niels’ dinnerware patterns are still active in the Dansk line today. We like to think of Niels as one of Mid-Century Modern’s ceramic masters, and as this design theme is enjoying renewed attention in the last several years we have not only re-issued some of Niels’ early work, we’ve commissioned him to develop a new approach to the casual dining experience." And now, let's look at the 'brown mist' design - Dansk Brown Mist features speckled dinnerware of a cream background trimmed in brown and was produced from 1972 to 2002. This particular piece is vintage. And for a bit about Dansk, from their website: "Created in 1954 by Ted and Martha Nierenberg to bring the elegant simplicity and natural materials of Scandinavian design to the American market at reasonable prices, Dansk’s clean, considered designs for the kitchen, table and home helped define a New Era of style." I love the perfect simplicity and effortless efficiency of this piece. From the close up photos, a couple glaze skips are evident. That being said, I think whatever you serve from this dish will be delicious. Just remember to invite me over!

    A late 19th century Louis XV style Rafraichissoir based on a design by renowned cabinet maker Joseph Gengenbach dit Canabas (1715 - 1797). The rafraichissoir was developed in the 18th century as a result of the need for privacy and thanks to the implementation of a new room, the dining room. The 18th century French aristocracy had a need for a breakfast, luncheon or dinner without eavesdropping by nosy servants. And so, the rafraichissoir came into being. A small table on casters...
