Rasmus Peter Ipsen (1815-1860) founded his terracotta firm in Copenhagen in 1843 where he produced Neo-Classic objects for a wealthy Danish and international clientele. In 1848 the Copenhagen 'Thorvaldsens Museum' opened, creating a strong influence on the local manufacturers of ceramic wares, particularly Ipsen, who used the famous sculptor's works as examples. Following Ipsen's death in 1860, the firm was carried on by his widow and son under the name 'P.Ipsens Enke'. (Cf. B.Holst, 'P.Ipsens Enke, 1843-1900', Copenhagen, 1990.)
