Lot Essay

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.
