TRITON

Designed in 1976–1978
Porcelain dinner service by Arje Griegst for Royal Copenhagen
Handmade in Denmark

The Triton porcelain, known in Danish as Konkyliestellet, grew from Griegst’s profound fascination with the sea, transforming the organic forms of conch shells and sandy seabeds rippled by the current into an abstract, otherworldly porcelain universe. Each piece is a sculptural work of art, characterised by undulating lines and intricate textures. Together, they form a table worthy of a sea god.

The Triton porcelain is available in selected pieces. Please enquire for further information.

Description

The porcelain’s distinctive design was created through an intricate process in which fine threads of wax were carefully applied to plaster moulds, giving the surface its almost fluid, rhythmic movement. Originally introduced in the late 1970s, Triton remains one of Royal Copenhagen’s most visionary and technically ambitious artist collaborations.

50 years later, the masterpiece resurfaces. The Triton collection has been reissued in a selection of pieces featuring three new colour glazes: palest Sand beige, Ocean blue and light Celadon green. Drawing inspiration from Arje Griegst’s porcelain jewellery from 1975, the new glazes honour the original artistic vision and craftsmanship, introducing the collection to new generations.
