The art of making earthenware in Denmark was revived wih the emergence of the factory Aluminia in the mid 19th century. This book describes the evolution of both the factory and the delicate faience or earthenware. The book contains a short intro on the technique of firing porcelain and faience. The description of the faience is then divided into time periods, which makes it easily accesible for both the professional and the interested collector. It is richly illustrated with examples from the author’s own collection as well as from the collection of the factory itself. Includes makers and artists marks and a time line of the making of dinner services and their designers.

Despite the high level of collector interest in modern Scandinavian art glass, there have been few if any publications devoted exclusively to Swedish glass made from 1930-1970. The author sets forth a concise history of the two major Swedish glass producers during their peak decades, identifies those artists and designs that are of primary importance, and assigns estimated values to these works. The focus of this work is on limited production, “high end” designs, rather than on the commercial output of these firms. The text is illustrated with color photos from the author’s own outstanding collection as well as a number of illustrations supplied by Bo Knutsson Art & Antiques, perhaps Sweden’s leading dealer in the 20th century Swedish glass.
