Our Pottery Collections

Just outside of Copenhagen, in the historic fishing village of Dragør, there is a unique interplay between the blue sea, the ornate houses and the shiny green gates of the paved avenues. It is this enchanting color combination that inspires our glazed pots, jars and vases.

We know this color as “port green” or “wagon green”—names that call to mind places where this color is seen daily. Developed in the mid-18th century, it was popular in now-historic urban areas, where it was used everywhere from the doors and gates of the town’s finer houses to horse-drawn carriages, benches and street lamps. Together with the earthy ochers and sea blue tones, one is reminded of a bygone era, the same feeling evoked by a visit to idyllic Dragør.

Our glaze is saturated with intense color, accentuating the nuances between our different types of pots. Each pot, jar and vase is glazed the old-fashioned way, individually and by hand.

Like Berg’s raw herb pots, the sturdy glazes and timeless colors signal that pots Glazed by Bergs are made to last for generations to come. Quality will always be classic.

We call this the Castle Pot since it is inspired by a pot made at the royal castle of Fredensborg in 1860. Over time, production moved to smaller potters in Copenhagen, where it was made until plastic pots began to grow in popularity in the 1960s. Steffen Berg found his inspiration in a beautiful pot he saw years ago in a former nursery. Today, our potters make the pot in a small village near Lucca in Tuscany.

Clay pearling along Helena’s top edge gives this pot a soft and classic look.

North of Rome lies the small town of Di Bolzena, a place once filled with potters and the home of Robert Rosso. Taking inspiration from ancient Greek Designs, Rosso created the Helena Pot, which was popular throughout the 1800s. There’s been a recent rebirth of interest in the classic design, and Tuscan potters are now making it again.

Simona is a romantic Parisian pot that we imagine has appeared in countless French homes since the peak of its popularity in the 1820s-1860s. It was first created in Paris’ Latin Quarter, but—alas!—the original artist’s name remains a mystery.

Years ago we spotted this delightful pot in the midst of a flea market in Montmartre. Today we have it made by our Tuscan potters.

The Parade Pot is named for the Parade House in Gisselfeld Castle Park, a glass greenhouse that was first seen at the London World’s Fair in 1851. The Parade House today shelters an orange-growing operation and an extensive garden designed by Stig Lauritsen. As the designer of the Parade Pot, Lauritsen took inspiration for this collection from an ancient Belgian design.

The conical design is an old standby for pots as it suits many different types of plant.

The Parade Pot was the first of our botanical series.

The signature rope edge on this tall, slender pot is inspired by the Roman Empire. Since 1800, it’s been produced in the city of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of Tuscany. We produce it today in Tuscany as well, using time-honored techniques.

Elizabeth: A queen of grace and glory! And yet, this regal woman has also stood fast against storms after more than half a century on the throne.

Like the queen, this pot is durable and adorned with elegance. Gothic arches decorate its sides, whose shapes form a bold crown when the pot is turned on its head.

Elizabeth is made as a tribute to all women, everyday queens who sail into headwinds with pride, grace and strength.

The Planet Series arose from versatile designer Christian Buur Bangsgaard’s fascination with modular structure, and features layered rings of different sizes. Taut design meets a soft finish, resulting in the line of pots called Saturn, Venus and Mars.

Bangsgaard has built his design reputation through working with ceramics, gardens, and paper clips. Charlottenborg and Traphold. He has received numerous awards including the Arts Award in Ceramics.

In 1960 Milan, when designer Ninetta Mariani created the Julie Pot, she exclaimed, “I couldn’t add another thing to it!” Today we still agree. This elegant, understated pot keeps the plant in primary focus.

Sturdy and elegant, The Galestro stands firm from its edge to its subtly tapered base. Galestro is the name for the type of clay used to construct the pot, and we think the name also suits this design well.

We produce a series of majestic pots for use outdoors, created and fired by hand in Tuscany. Each pot is a unique work of art, ranging from simple to ornate.

When we think of Daisy, we think first and foremost of the Danish Queen, her royal highness Margrethe the 2nd. Among Danes it is a public secret that family and friends call the Queen the nickname Daisy.Our Daisy has been Designed by Bergs itself and symbolizes the strength, elegance and classical lines of the Queen. Furthermore, the name refers to the flower by the same name – also known as a Marguerite – with all its class, elegance and simple beauty. And so, our Daisy represents both the Queen of Denmark and a flower favorite to many. The pot comes both as a classical standing pot and a wall hanging pot. And trust us, you want to hang out with Daisy!
