Gertrud Vasegaard

In parallel, she furthered her education by working with the ceramist Christian Poulsen (1911–1991) and with Arne Bang (1901–1983) at the Holmegaard Glass Factory.

In 1945, on the initiative of Aksel Rode and as a result of the difficulty of obtaining supplies after the war, she began working for Bing & Grøndahl during the winter, returning to her Bornholm workshop for the rest of the year.

Of particular note is her tea set (1956) with a hexagonal teapot and cups without handles, perfectly adapted to industrial production.

Vasegaard's mugs, bowls and covered dishes with geometrical patterns were not only popular in Denmark but became internationally recognized.

[3] Vasegaard's functional stoneware bowls and vases are lightly coloured and simply decorated with restrained patterns such as stripes and checks or rows of stepped lines.
