The studio name is an acronym of p(er), (a)nnelise (l)innemann, (s)chmidt and hus (house). Early studio pieces were precise and minimalist in nature, with beautifully silky, matte glazes – mainly in subtle tones of brown, blue, green or cream. At palshus, the 1960s saw a change in style with the use of chamotte (textured clay) as well as printed/sgrafitto designs, used in conjunction with more roughly textured gloss glazes. The pottery closed in 1972. Dimensions: single leg h20 X d9 cm with lampshade: h35 X d20 cm.
