Per Linneman-Schmidt Danish b. 1912

Per Linneman-Schmidt was trained as an artist at the Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1932-1935.

After establishing himself as a sculptural portraitist, in 1947 he founded the Palshus pottery in Taasrrup, with his wife Annelise. Their production included a wide range of household and artistic wares. While their early work, like that of many ceramicists was Japanese inspired, they re-interpreted these forms to create minimalist sculptural forms with plain mat hard glazes.

The body of their early ceramics is a bonelike fine textured, white. By 1957, however they had begun to experiment with both glazes and the clays, which they employed to produce a rougher charmotte ware with a more coloured clay. Production continued for both types of ware until 1972 when Per Linneman-Schmidt closed the pottery following the death of his wife, Annelise.
