Lot Details
Mid century Danish blue pottery fish plaque. Designed by Inge Exner for Knabstrup of Denmark and carrying her signature to the lower front right. Knabstrup studio stamp to the rear along with a metal loop wall hanger. Featuring three beautifully glazed blue flat fish above a matte chocolate toned base. Measuring 300mm by 230mm. Circa early 1960’s. Dietlinde Hein and Inge Exner were part of a small group of German potters working for Knabstrup. Dietlinde and Inge had just graduated as Keramische Gestalter für Form und Dekor at the Ceramic Study Center in Höhr-Grenzhausen near Koblenz when a delegation from Knabstrup visited the place, and offered them a job. Christine Konschak, who worked for Knabstrup 1965-1970 was also educated at Höhr-Grenzhausen. Inge Exner only worked for Knabstrup for a year, returning to Germany in 1961.
