Lusting for Lustre

Søren Kongstrand was an entrepreneurial Dane from the town of Esbjerg, Denmark. His original trade was creating copper plumbing for his family owned hardware store. Alongside his practical training, he started to gain interest in copper as an art form. He finally moved on to pottery full time - almost always incorporating copper into his signature lustre glazes. This piece is likely an early career work dating from the time he opened his studio - around 1911. The result is a metallic sheen that exposes layers of oxidation ranging from minty green to a pleasing dusty rose.
