Wiinblad Woman Candle Holder
£640.00
Bjørn Wiinblad (1918 – 2006), was a Danish painter, designer and artist in ceramics. Some of the most impressive work by Wiinblad comes from his own studio, “Værksted”, which started in 1952 in Copenhagen. Generally they are “fajance” ware – eathernware pieces with a white base glaze on which a coloured design is hand painted. Wiinblad designed all the pieces from his studio and painted many of them himself, although to keep up with the volume produced he had the help of a few painters. Wiinblad’s designs often featured whimsical characters, sometimes in quite bizarre costumes and headgear – in the forms of lady-head vases, figurines, sculptures, candlesticks, and jars. His own signature was a caricature of himself.
