Jens Quistgaard (1959) Relief from Kronjyden
An Overview of Jens Quistgaard’s Relief series
Jens Quistgaard (1919–2008) designed many classics for the Danish Kronjyden company. One of the most well-known series is Relief from 1959. It consists of about 60 tableware objects with sturdy forms. They are made of stoneware with yellowish beige glaze and a compact leaf relief pattern.
