Fanny Garde

She began by decorating the company's Heron dinnerware set (Hejrestellet), which proved to be an award-winning success in underglaze painting.

She is remembered in particular for decorating Bing & Grøndahl's Seagull set (Mågestellet), featuring a white bird in a blue sky.

In 1876 she arrived in Copenhagen where she attended the recently established Arts and Crafts School for Women headed by Charlotte Klein.

While there she met Effie Hegermann-Lindencrone, establishing a close personal relationship with her and travelling with her on trips to Italy, France, England and Germany.

[1][2] The two worked together at G. Eifrig's Københavns Lervarefabrik in Valby in 1885 before joining Bing & Grøndahl's porcelain factory the following year.
