Grete Prytz Kittelsen (1917-2010) was born into one of Norway's largest goldsmith families, J. Tostrup. It was through her technical skill and creativity that she positioned herself in a Norwegian and international context. Grete used new enamelling techniques and the treatment of the silver surface. This built on old Norwegian traditions with foliage and decor and enamel where small round portions are punched out and bent forward.
