Bio:
Karl Hansen Reistrup (1847–1913) was a Danish ceramicist, sculptor and artist associated with Kähler in Næstved. Working at the intersection of art and craft, he is particularly known for his naturalistic and decorative works, often incorporating animals and organic motifs. His late 19th-century works are among the most distinctive and sought-after from Kähler’s production.
