Provenance

From the collection of Börje Johansson, a Swedish private collector, who focused on the most rare pieces from the famous Musselmalet service from Royal Copenhagen. He collected 1 000 objects for 20 years and now Bukowskis are entrusted to sell over 700 items in three auctions. The first part is offered online in November 2024, eighteen of the most spectacular pieces are to be sold at the Important Winter Sale 661, the last part of the collection will be offered in March 2025. The main focus in Börje Johanssons collection has been individual interesting pieces and not the full services. This is a collection comprising some of the earliest and most desirable Musselmalet items, but also later interesting collectibles, each piece made with the recognized and loved craftmanship of Royal Copenhagen, Den Kongelige Porcelainsfabrik.

Artist

Hanne Varming (1939–2022) was a Danish sculptor known for her sculptures of ordinary people, often her own children. She also portrayed famous individuals such as Victor Borge. Her depictions of Queen Margrethe II can be seen on the Danish 10- and 20-kroner coins. After school, Varming began working at the Royal Porcelain Factory (Royal Copenhagen), where she sculpted flowers for the renowned Flora Danica series. She was encouraged to take painting and sculpture lessons from Knud Brønsted before applying to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She was accepted and studied under Gottfred Eickhoff and Mogens Bøggild, graduating in 1965. Varming exhibited regularly from 1963 and created, among other works, coins for Crown Prince Frederik's 18th birthday and the piece Piger fra Paris, which is located at Copenhagen Airport.
