About

Glit HF / Iceland Glit Pottery was founded in 1958 by Einar Flason, a businessman; Petur Samundsen, then head of the Federation of Icelandic Industries, sculptor and ceramic artist. Glit was adamantly devoted to utilizing Icelandic clay and ground minerals in production during its first decade of operation— especially hardened lava. The pottery company operated at Othingata downtown Reykjavik until 1971, when the decision was made to expand the company and move its operations to Höfthi. The company's time at Othnsgata is often referred to as the "Old Glit", and the company as it operated at Höfthi is called "The Big Glit." "The exhibition "A Glimpse of Glit" includes many items of the Pottery, both from Othinsgata (where operations lasted between 1958-1971) as well as from Höfthi. The company's physical move reflected the changing emphasis of its production, as it took place at the same time as artistic direction shifted from Ragnar Kjartansson to the German ceramic artist Gerhard Schwarz, who took over in 1968." Set includes 2 cups: 4 x 5.5 x 5, 1 pot: 6.5 x 8.25 x 2.5 and a plate: 6 x.75 x 6
