Bio
Ipsens Enke, founded in 1843 in Copenhagen by Louise Ipsen, was one of Denmark’s leading ceramic manufactories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The factory became known for its reliefs, classicist and naturalistic motifs, and a wide range of glazes often inspired by the forms of antiquity and contemporary international trends. In the 1920s and 1930s, Ipsens Enke developed a particularly decorative style, where bold colors and relief motifs created works of strong visual expression.
