About the Item

Amazing large stoneware table lamp handmade in the 1950s by Palshus Stentøj in Denmark. The vase is cylindrical with charming handles on each side. The vessel is made from chamotte clay and features the most stunning glazing in grey-brown earth tones. The lamp was made for world famous Le Klint lamp manufacturer and is still mounted with the original lampshade designed for Le Klint by Robert Kasal. The lamp is probably a unique piece made for an exhibition or special event. Signed underneath. PROVENANCE: Bought directly from the estate of Danish Modern architect Kurt Østervig. Per Linnemann-Schmidt trained the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Professor Einar Utzon-Frank from 1932 to 1935, then established a reputation as a portrait sculptor. In 1947, he and his wife, Annelise, opened a ceramics studio under the name of Palshus (later Palshus Stentøj [stoneware]) in Sengeløse, Denmark. Together they created simple, undecorated pottery, successfully pro­ducing hand-thrown vases, bowls, ashtrays, lamp bases, teapots and jugs in series that were distinguished by their remarkably high technical and artistic quality. Numerous unique pieces were also produced. Early wares were characterized by their precise forms and hard, almost bone-like, mat glazes. In the mid 1950s the workshop experimented with new clays and glazes, and in 1957 a new ware was developed with a rustic chamotte body, incised decoration in simple, geometric pat­terns and high gloss glazes; the colors of such pieces varied according to the relative thick­ness with which the glaze settled onto the engraved surface. Production of both types of ceramics continued until the end of 1972, when Per Linnemann­ Schmidt closed the studio follow­ing the death of his wife.
