Gallery Tour | Art Nouveau Innovation: Danish Porcelain from an American Collector

Collector Dr. Todd Reiser describes the history of Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grøndahl porcelain during the art nouveau period of the 1880s-1920s. Innovations in design and glaze techniques pushed Danish porcelain to the forefront of the ceramics world at the turn of the century, with the help of world's fairs and other international exhibitions. Buyers included Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Prince of Wales.

A note from Dr. Reiser: I misspoke when I was discussing the Bing & Grøndahl vase by Elisabeth Drewes with the tulips. I meant to say that this vase was likely designed by J. F. Willumsen, but somehow Gerhard Heilmann came out, which makes no sense since he was working at Royal Copenhagen - not at Bing & Grøndahl.
