Grete Prytz Kittelsen
(1917 - )
Grete Prytz Kittelsen, granddaughter of the great Norwegian designer Jacob Tostrup, was born in Oslo, Norway and was educated in Paris as well as the Art Institute in Chicago. Renowned for her work with stainless steel and enamel for Cathrineholm, her design has brought her numerous awards. Her jewelry designs in silver are particularly desirable today. Her success as a designer is no surprise given her family tradition in the field. Grete and her husband Arne Korsmo were a major factor in the rise in popularity of Scandinavian Modern design in the 1940s and onward.
