Bio:
Arnold Emil Krog (1856–1931) was a Danish architect and porcelain artist. Trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, he became artistic director of the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory in 1885. Krog played a central role in the artistic renewal of the manufactory and became particularly known for his work with underglaze decoration and natural motifs. The Midsummer Night’s Dream service was designed by Krog around 1899.
