The truth of the matter is that Danish pottery has a long history in Denmark. Like most Danish art, their pottery consists of the clean lines and the simplistic features that their art is so famous for. Art plays a vital role in Denmark, not only culturally but for business as well. We are, after all, talking about the country that graced the world with the Lego. Creativity is an important aspect of the culture and the people of this country.

One of the most famish artist in the line of Danish pottery is probably Bjorn Wiinblad. He is known worldwide and has enjoyed a career that has spanned more than 60 years. His talents aren’t limited to pottery and ceramics however; his art has been displayed on book covers, glass, and a myriad of other creative mediums. His artistic creativity in addition to his versatility combined makes him rather impossible to classify. He is much like a jack-of-all-trades within the artistic community and yet remains wildly popular.

Danish pottery, like Bjorn Wiinblad has many facets. Much of the pottery of Denmark matches the modernistic flare of the furniture that is created here as well. The furniture, the art, they all form a symbiotic relationship within the home and most artists of the area are designing their wares for the local buying public. Not that they don’t welcome tourists, but most tourists offer a one-time purchase. The local public is the bread and butter for these people and they are well aware of it. It only makes sense that their designs would reflect the local culture and the idea that less is indeed sometimes more.

If you haven’t ever taken a long hard look at Danish pottery, perhaps you should. I think you will find it at the very least an attractive addition to your home décor even if you are not a collector of pottery. For those of us who lover pottery there are tiny shops throughout Denmark where we could get lost for hours if not days. One of the biggest complaints that I’ve heard is that the quality of the pottery is so good that it is very difficult indeed to tell the difference between studio pieces and finished pieces. A grand compliment indeed to the local artisans.

I don’t know how you feel about pottery. For me I find it a worthy investment because it’s art that is useful to me. I use my pottery as mixing bowls, I put them in the microwave, dishwasher, oven, I even serve food from my pottery in addition to using it for decoration. Whether you are a true lover of pottery or not, I would hope that you could at the very least appreciate the skill, the time, the labor, and the dedication to craft that is very evident in most Danish pottery.
