1940 Georg Jensen Inc. crest

(above) The crest of Georg Jensen Inc, 667 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY,  as it appeared in an advertisement of 1941.

Georg Jensen Inc. sold Janeway ceramics from 1942 through 1949. That store, created and managed by Frederik Lunning, no longer exists. In its time, 1923-1970s, it was a legitimate branch of Georg Jensen in Copenhagen.

All Janeway’s ceramic  decoration was carried out in underglaze technique. Tiles were industrial blanks, usually from Wheeling,Inc.  Dinnerwares used Ranchero patterned blanks from W.S.George. All other items were designed and fabricated by Janeway using slipcasting.
