Royal Copenhagen Gemma

Extended data: Pattern #125  Royal Copenhagen Gemma is designed by Gertrud Vasegaard.

Along with Gemma, Gertrud Vasegaard also designed Gemina and and few other Royal Copenhagen patterns.

Gertrud Vasegaard, b.1913, is a remarkable representative of a widespread tendency in modern Danish ceramics. The shapes from which she started were those of basic utility objects such as bowls, vases and cups. In 1948 she was appointed to the Bing & Grøndahl Porcelain Manufactory, and with the new glazing being produced there she ensured that the stoneware mass can be felt in such a way that the textural effect of the material once more comes into its own. Her decorations consist of simple ornamentation, engraved, pressed or painted in contrasting colors. Gertrud Vasegaard created three porcelain services for Royal Copenhagen in white and blue-white (Gemina, Gemma). In her more recent works one senses the "turning" of the cylinder, the high or low oval, more strongly, often emphasized by a simple, linear decoration which is a variation of the predilection of Danish artist craftsmen for stripes.
