Dansk Flamestone Coffee Pot, Dansk Lidded Coffee Pitcher, Dansk Ceramic Coffee Server, Jens Quistgaard, Mid Century Modern, Danish Modern

This listing is for a Dansk "Flamestone" ceramic coffee or tea pot/pitcher/server. This midcentury modern/Danish modern style coffee server is made from clay and has a brown matte glazed exterior and a shiny off-white glazed interior. The line is called Flamestone and it was popular in the 1960's but it has made a strong comeback with today's modern home cooks and professional chefs. Imported from Denmark, the pitcher/carafe has a fluted design around the top exterior and comes with a slightly domed lid. It measures 5-1/4 inches in diameter across the bottom and 7-1/2 inches from the handle to the spout, and it stands 13-1/2 inches tall to the top of the lid handle. The pot weighs 2 pounds and 14 ounces. The bottom is marked "Dansk Designs Denmark IHQ ©" with IHQ being the mark for designer Jens Quistgaard. The pitcher is in very good used vintage condition for its age and use. There are no chips on the pitcher piece but there are two small chips on the rim of the lid (see last photo). The exterior and bottom has some light surface scratches, and the bottom of the interior has some coffee stains. This is a great piece of midcentury Danish modern serve ware that would be a great addition to your midcentury modern or Scandinavian modern style home!

Founded in 1954, Dansk International Designs Ltd. is and always has been an American company. The original Dansk fluted Flamestone cookware and dinnerware was produced from 1963 to 1985 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and owes its striking design to designer, Jens Quistgaard. The Flamestone design features a highly matte dark, chocolatey brown exterior, contrasting with a smooth white gloss glaze for the interior or “working order surfaces”

Jens Harald Quistgaard (April 23, 1919 – January 4, 2008) was a Danish sculptor and designer, known principally for his work for the American company, Dansk Designs, where he was chief designer from 1954 and for the following three decades. He trained in traditional handicrafts and then turned to industrial design. From the mid-1950s, his table and kitchenware designs became synonymous with Scandinavian modern and achieved huge success in the USA, Europe and Japan. His international orientation and success was groundbreaking and contributed significantly to the importance that Danish design achieved in the USA.
