Georg Jen sen : T ureen.

When formerly the word of »Copenhagen« was mentioned abroad, it always reminded the foreigner about the fa­ mous Danish porcelain. During the last years, in the meantime, the porcelain has got a com petitor: the Danish silverware, and these two a rt products now uphold the name of Denmark and are — e a ch in its lin e — le a d i n g everywhere, where a rt is ap­ p r e c ia te d . The Danish silver-sm ith Georg Jensen, in the begin­ ning of the century created an entirely new style: »Tho Georg Jensen Style«, which o f c o u r se , as everything good, has had innumerable im ita­ tors.

In the leading art-museums in the old, as well as in the new world, the silverware of Georg Jensen has been pu t in the place of honour; but the tourist, visiting the Da­ nish capital, interested in the new mouvements inside the art-industry, ought to see the two exhibition-rooms: Bred- gadc No. 21 and Ostergade No. 29, where large selections of the masters works are exhibited. We feel persuaded, th a t if a foreigner would like to see the manual mode of tre a t­ ment of these beautiful goods from the furnace to the ready piece of art, he will be well received a t the silver-sm iths work-shop, Ragnagade 7.
