Per Linnemann-Schmidt (Danish, 1912-1999), Five Studio Vessels

For Palshus, to include (2) circa 1950 matte hare's fur glazed vases, both inscribed "Palshus/Denmark/PL-S" with style numbers to underside (tallest 4 7/8 in.); and (3) circa 1960s-1970s chamotte clay vessels with sgraffito patterns, all inscribed "Palshus/Denmark/PL-S" with style numbers to underside (tallest 10 3/4 in.).

Palshus Pottery was created by the husband and wife duo Per and Annelise Linnemann- Schmidt in Senglose, Denmark in the late 1940s. Palshus is the acronym of the initials of their names and the word "hus" meaning "house" in Danish. The initial works were more simple in form and finish and became the perfect canvases for the matte "haresfur" glazes in subtle earth tones. In the mid-1950s, they developed more rustic "chamotte" textural clay bodies, often incised with simple geometric motifs and higher gloss glazes. They would go on to collaborate with well-known sculptors and ceramicists to develop singular pieces as well as an array of lamps, serving pieces, and vases. The pottery house closed its doors in 1972.
