This listing is for a nice Ipsen P&E Danish terracotta Art Pottery vase, c. 1900. The vase has a bulbous form and has a molded berry and leaf design around the top half of vase and teal color airbrushed detail above base. The body of the vase has an orangy-terracotta color with the leaves being a brownish-teal color. The vase is marked with the incised crown mark and intertwined initials P&E (for Peter and his wife Enke), model # 791 and several other identification marks. The company was established in 1843 by Rasmus Peter Ipsen who was later joined by his son Bertel. Bertel expanded the company and opened shops in both Paris and London and represented the line at most world exhibitions from 1846-1917. An interesting note is that Georg Jensen who is the famous Danish silversmith and jewelry designer early in his career worked as an artist for Ipsen.
