Jorgen Jensen
The second son of Georg Jensen (1895-1966) trained as a silversmith and worked independently from 1923-1936. He later joined his father's firm, designing jewelry and hollowware for over a twenty-five year period. His early work such as a water pitcher (lot 248) relies on naturalistic ornament, favored by his father and by Johan Rohde. His later work, such as this tobacco canister, is devoid of such ornament and relates to the modernistic work of Harald Nielsen and Sigvard Bernadotte.
