Christian Joachim Petersen, (1870-1943), ceramic artist and painter

Christian Joachim Petersen lost his right arm when he was 6 years old but was nevertheless trained as a painter at the Art Academy in Copenhagen in 1887.

He was attached to Georg Jensen, and was a great success at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900.

Christian Joachim was employed at Faience Aluminia from 1901.

Later (1911-1933), Christian Joachim worked as artistic director at Aluminia, and he was here involved in designing and developing a part of the hand-decorated faience and art objects including the very popular Tranquebar dinnerware (1914), Blue Pheasant and Golden Summer.

In the period from 1922-33 Christian Joachim also worked as artistic director at the Royal Porcelain Factory and here he created dinnerware of porcelain too.

He typically used ultramarine blue in his work with faience. Along with the deep blue tone he used dark green, purple, bright yellow, brown and red.

    
Christian Joachim typically signed his works with the following signatures:

Delivery terms

There are 2 types of delivery terms:

1. Delivery of items in stock
2. Delivery of customised/special ordered items and items not in stock

Delivery of items in stock

All items currently in stock are items that we currently have stored at our warehouse.

Items in stock are normally shipped immediately (within 1-4 business days). When your payment has been confirmed by us, you will receive an order confirmation.

Should the time of delivery be delayed beyond normal (i.e. orders of large quantity) we will let you know.

Attention! By delivery time we mean the time from the order is confirmed to the order is shipped from DPH Trading. Not the time between the order is made to the time you receive the order.

Delivery of customised/special ordered items and items not in stock

Customised/special ordered items and items not in stock are all items we do not currently store at our warehouse.

We are therefore depending of the various suppliers, dealers and collectors and the time of delivery is only an estimate.

In some situations it can be impossible for DPH Trading to predict the exact time of delivery if the items are specially ordered or customised.

Sometimes the items have to be produced from scratch. If the particular item is of significant age we may have to rely on private collectors who are willing to sell.

All the customised/special ordered items are delivered as close to the agreed delivery date as possible.

DPH Trading could take precautions for the delivery of entire or parts of an order. Part deliveries can occur. We always strive to inform you as quickly and efficiently as possible, should any deliveries change or be divided into separate deliveries.

In extraordinary situations negotiations can be made where the buyer are not responsible for the extra delivery cost in case of part deliveries.
