His father, Harald, was a well-known sculptor who fostered his son’s early creative interests. As a young man, Jens served an apprenticeship at Georg Jensen Solvsmedje, the well-known Danish silversmiths in Copenhagen. During World War II, he was a member of the Danish underground. A freelance designer after the war, he worked in a variety of media including wood, metal, glass, stainless steel, and ceramics.   Today a division of the Lenox Group, Dansk was founded in 1954 by Ted Nierenberg, an American entrepreneur and engineer. Originally based in Great Neck, New York, the company quickly became known for making sophisticated European styles accessible to American consumers. In 1954 Mr. Nierenberg visited Copenhagen, Denmark, where he caught sight of hand-forged flatware by Jens Quistgaard in a museum. It was made of stainless steel with teak handles, an unusual marriage of materials at the time. He sought out Mr. Quistgaard, persuaded him that his singular creations could be properly mass-produced, and Dansk was born. Working from his studio in Copenhagen, Mr. Quistgaard designed characteristically Danish craft aesthetic pieces for Dansk for 30 years from its inception until the mid-1980s. Jens died on January 4, 2008, at his home in Vordingborg, Denmark, aged 88.   Jens Quistgaard's work was publicly recognized when he won the Lunning Prize in 1954, the Scandinavian Award, and six Milan Triennali awards. His work is in the permanent collections of major museums, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, and the Louvre in Paris, France.   Defensively Packaged and Ready to SHIP AT COST   NO ADDITIONAL FEES for Packing or Handling   Buy with confidence We respond to customer concerns and communicate at every stage of the purchase process (confirmation – shipment – return feedback) Check our feedback record of accurate descriptions and undamaged deliveries   If this listing has ended you may still have an opportunity to purchase this item:   Check our convenient eBay store, Pastimes Pottery Pantry for Buy it Now sale items   Instructions for multiple item purchases:   For Multiple (2 or more) item purchases, select your first item and proceed to checkout.
