1017 Teapot
This is a teapot. It was designed by Henning Koppel and manufactured by Georg Jensen Sølvsmedie. It is dated 1952. Its medium is silver, walnut. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Koppel, trained as a sculptor and designer, began working for the Jensen firm in 1945. His fluid designs for hollowware (vessel forms) bolstered the firm as a leader in Scandinavian modern design. A 1950’s advertisement for Jensen, picturing some of Koppel’s curvaceous pieces, featured the headline “The old name . . . the new design.”
