Nils Thorsson became Art Director of Royal Copenhagen in 1958. He introduced several young female artists from Denmark, Norway and Sweden to the company to create a new house-style. The new stoneware and faience series produced during the 60s and 70s became a big success for Royal Copenhagen.

Inge-Lise Kofoed was one of these artists, she was educated at the Arts and Crafts School in Copenhagen 1956-1960.
