About the Item

Danish ceramic signed Helle Allpass (1932-2000) in stoneware glazed on the inside. Beautiful and subtle glaze on the inside, contrasting with the rough stoneware on the outside. Signature under the dish: Allpass Danmark Little is known about this ceramist, apart from the testimony of her daughter Signe Lindkvists, now a Danish television presenter. She recently spoke to the press about the end of her mother's life and tells us a rather surprising anecdote. Suffering from Parkinson's disease and not wishing to be deprived of her physical faculties, she had taken the decision to end her life. Before doing so, she wanted to invite her nearest and dearest to a final dinner with a special dish to bid them farewell. She invited 14 people, then sent her daughter to her butcher to order 14 fried pigeons. The butcher told her daughter that this would not be possible this week, but only the following week. Helle Allpass calmly and simply decided to wait and postpone her suicide for a week.
