Background:
Trained as a sculptor, Willumsen designed stoneware for
Royal Copenhagen between 1925 and 1930, along with Axel
Salto, Jais Nielsen and Carl Hallier; and again from
1940-1947. He worked in his own studio in the 1930's and,
again, after leaving Royal Copenhagen. This piece dates from
the earlier, 1930's, period.
"Small
factories
and
workshops thrived in Denmark over the course of the
twentieth century, some founded by well know ceramicists who
also worked at the large factories...While not as well
known, nowhere else is the wide range of artistry and
technical expertise better illustrated..."
