Allan Hytholm can look back on a long life with ceramics. He has lived professionally by his art from 1972 where he got his own workshop. Allan was educated at the Royal Porcelain Factory's development department in the period 1962-1967 where he was awarded a silver medal for his graduation project.

His long education and professional career means that today he has extensive experience in the many possibilities of ceramics.

In the period 1972 to 1979, Allan made countless models for others. During that period, he worked closely with several large companies and artists at home and abroad, among others. Bjørn Wiinblad, Rosenthal Germany and Knabstrup et al. It was also during this period that Allan modeled the Tivoli Medal in collaboration with Bjørn Wiinblad.

Allan's training as a model, together with his artistic abilities, enables him to solve such tasks.

Allan Hytholm loves working with clay and still has a lot of ideas. His form of expression has, of course, changed over the years. Today, Allan works with strong colors, and everything he does is, as always, hand-decorated. He is easily recognizable on his special profiles, two-part faces on vases, jars and figures, Allan Hytholm is very good at modeling, and this is clearly expressed in his various works. In addition to the strong colors, Allan also has a penchant for the color blue, and he is also known for that. Allan also makes many of his motifs as watercolor paintings which he also sells in his exhibition as postcards and posters.

He has done several decorating assignments at home and abroad, business awards, church decorating and countless unique works. Over the years, Allan has sold some of his stuff to Norway, Japan, the US and Germany and of course here at home.

In connection with the opening of Egedal municipality's new town hall on 18.11.2014, Allan made the gift which was handed over to Queen Margrethe.


Today, Allan works and sells his things in a large and well-functioning workshop and gallery beautifully situated in the scenic Skenkelsø in North Zealand. In addition, he holds exhibitions in art associations, companies and galleries.

Allan Hytholm is passionate about his work with art, so he spends most of his time in his workshop in Skenkelsø. Here he works with his Norwegian-born wife Aud, who takes care of sales, planning and holding special events as well as exhibition agreements. If you have a desire to visit a living gallery and workshop, you as a group, min.8 people, can book a tour and / or dining in beautiful surroundings.

Denmark is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe. The countries of Denmark and Greenland, as well as the Faroe Islands, constitute the Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark). It is the southernmost of the Nordic countries, southwest of Sweden and south of Norway, and bordered to the south by Germany. Denmark borders both the Baltic and the North Sea. The country consists of a large peninsula, Jutland (Jylland) and many islands, most notably Zealand (Sjælland), Funen (Fyn), Vendsyssel-Thy (commonly considered a part of Jutland), Lolland, Falster and Bornholm, as well as hundreds of minor islands often referred to as the Danish Archipelago. Denmark has long controlled the approach to the Baltic Sea (dominium maris baltici); before the digging of the Kiel Canal, water passage to the Baltic Sea was possible only through the three channels known as the "Danish straits".

Denmark is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government. Denmark has a state-level government and local governments in 98 municipalities. Denmark has been a member of the European Union since 1973, although it has not joined the Eurozone. Denmark is a founding member of NATO and the OECD. It is also a member of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Denmark, with a mixed market capitalist economy and a large welfare state, ranks as having the world's highest level of income equality. It has frequently ranked as the happiest and least corrupt country in the world. The national language, Danish, is closely related to Swedish and Norwegian, with which it shares strong cultural and historical ties.

Etymology - The etymology of the word Denmark, and especially the relationship between Danes and Denmark and the unifying of Denmark as a single kingdom, is a subject which attracts some debate. The debate is centred primarily around the prefix "Dan" and whether it refers to the Dani or a historical person Dan and the exact meaning of the -"mark" ending. The issue is further complicated by a number of references to various Dani people in Scandinavia or other places in Europe in Greek and Roman accounts (like Ptolemy, Jordanes, and Gregory of Tours), as well as some mediaeval literature (like Adam of Bremen, Beowulf, Widsith and Poetic Edda).

Most handbooks derive the first part of the word, and the name of the people, from a word meaning "flat land", related to German Tenne "threshing floor", English den "cave", Sanskrit dhánu?- ("desert"). The -mark is believed to mean woodland or borderland, with probable references to the border forests in south Schleswig, maybe similar to Finnmark, Hedmark, Telemark or Dithmarschen.

In Norse, the land was called Danmork.
Some of the earliest descriptions of the origin of the word 'Denmark', describing a territory, are found in the Chronicon Lethrense (12th century), Svend Aagesen (late 12th century), Saxo Grammaticus (early 13th century) and the Ballad of Eric (mid 15th century). There are, however, many more Danish annuals and yearbooks containing various other details, similar tales in other variations, other names or spelling variations.

The Danish people were amongst those known as the Vikings during the 8th–11th centuries. Viking explorers first discovered and settled in Iceland in the 9th century, on their way from the Faroe Islands. From there, Greenland and Vinland (probably Newfoundland) were also settled. Utilizing their great skills in shipbuilding and navigation they raided and conquered parts of France and the British Isles. But they also excelled in trading along the coasts and rivers of Europe, running trade routes from Greenland in the north to Constantinople in the south via Russian rivers. The Danish Vikings were most active in Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy where they raided, conquered and settled (their earliest settlements included sites in the Danelaw, Ireland and Normandy).

In the early 9th century, Charlemagne's Christian empire had expanded to the southern border of the Danes, and Frankish sources (e.g. Notker of St Gall) provide the earliest historical evidence of the Danes. These report a King Gudfred, who appeared in present day Holstein with a navy in 804 where diplomacy took place with the Franks; In 808, King Gudfred attacked the Obotrite and conquered the city of Reric whose population was displaced or abducted to Hedeby. In 809, King Godfred and emissaries of Charlemagne failed to negotiate peace, despite the sister of Godfred being a concubine of Charlemagne, and the next year King Godfred attacked the Frisians with 200 ships.
