While all of Jens Quistgaard's designs have a distinctive Danish Modern look, I think his Flamestone line of dinnerware most displays this style. The high design look and breakthrough use of materials makes this coffee pot a spectacular piece of design. Unfortunately, Flamestone isn't without its problems. Foremost, its outer surface is easily marred, even by relatively nonabrasive items (such as a fingernail, as I've learned). But because of the innate beauty of the Flamestone shapes, this is easily overlooked. I consider it one of Quistgaard's great achievements.
Scott commented: Good finds, Steve! I haven't paid a lot of attention to Flamestone prices lately, so I'm afraid I couldn't give you a specific value. All I know is I've only found a handful of pieces from this line in the past five years or so. They are fairly uncommon, and a beautiful design. Good luck in selling!
