Nathalie Krebs

Nathalie Krebs (1954)

Johanne Nathalie Krebs (born August 5, 1895 in Aarhus , died January 5, 1978 in Copenhagen) was a Danish potter. She was the sister of the doctor and explorer Carl Krebs.

Krebs was employed at the Bing & Grøndahl between 1919 and 1929, where she worked with ceramist Gunnar Nylund. In 1929 she founded Saxbo stoneware in Gladsaxe, where she produced serial stoneware. She experimented with copper and iron glaze on simple stoneware shapes and reached results that gave her international reputation. From 1932 ceramist Eva Stæhr-Nielsen was tied to the workshop as a designer, and Krebs also collaborated with Edith Sonne Bruun. Saxbo was shut down in 1968.

In 1937 she was awarded the Tagea Brandt Rejselegat award, and in 1951 the Prince Eugen Medal.
