Johanne was one of a group of designers and artists under the direction of nils thorsson. This group included berte jessen, marianne johnson, ellen malmer, kari christensen, beth breyen and grete helland-hansen, johanne(s) gerber, anne marie trolle and ivan weiss. Most of the forms were design by nils thorsson, but ellen malmer also designed about 14 of the forms. A glazing technique was developed by nils so that each piece turned out slightly differently, giving them a hand-crafted, hand painted appearance due to the nature of the glaze. The designs of each of the artists/pattern designers is very different. Johanne gerber 's are amongst the boldest – often featuring strong contrasting colours as in this example, and often with complex layering of patterns and textures.
