A hand-thrown, hand-glazed Modernist bowl with a bright blue ‘haresfur’ glaze designed and made by Per & Annelise Linneman-Schmidt for Palshus, Denmark, in the early-1950s.

The Linneman-Schmidt’s were a husband-and-wife team who founded Palhus Stentøj (Palshus Pottery) in Senglose, Denmark, in 1949. Palshus is the acronym of the initials of their names and the word "hus" which means house in Danish. 

Early works by the workshop, like this bowl, are sparse in form and the perfect canvases for the exquisite matte ‘haresfur’ glazes they perfected in tones of blues, browns, creams and greens. 

The term ‘haresfur’ is in reference to the intricately mottled glaze looking like the fur of hares, or the feathers of grey-partridges.

The effect arises when iron in the glaze seeps out during firing. The technique stems from the Song Dynasty, 960-1279. However, it was popularised again in the mid-twentieth century by Rörstrand, Sweden. Interest in Chinese ceramics in Sweden grew in the 1900s with thanks to the connoisseur, Gustav (VI) Adolf, the Crown Prince of Sweden and one of the founders of the ‘Kinaklubben’ (The China Club) in 1929. [1]

Sweden became a leader in the research of Chinese art and many of the objects supplied by members of ‘Kinaklubben’ are now in the Museum of East Asian Antiquities in Stockholm.

[1] The co-founders of the 'Kinaklubben' (China Club) were Emil Hultmark (1872–1943) and Carl Kempe (1884-1967).
