User:Michael root/Saxbo workshop

Saxbo was an art pottery that flourished in Denmark between 1930 and 1968. Nathalie Krebs established Saxbo in 1930, after a strong career with Bing and Grondahl and a tiny factory know as “Nylund Krebs,” her early collaboration with Gunnar Nylund. When Nyland left in 1930 to become Rostrand’s artistic director, she assumed leadership of their workshop. In 1932, Eva Staehr-Nielsen joined the workshop and was the architect of the “Saxbo Style.” Saxbo is recognized as one of the finest independent ceramic workshops in Scandinavia and was awarded a gold medal at the 1957 Milan Triennale, and pieces have been included in the collections of the Copenhagen Industrial Arts Museum, the New York Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Saxbo pottery includes lidded boxes,teapots,bowls,and vases and the work is notable for its clean lines, subtle glazes and mid-century modern styling.
