Saxbo Pottery was established in 1930 by Nathalie Krebs and was one of the world's leading woman-owned and directed workshops. Eva Staehr-Nielsen joined Krebs in 1932. Krebs developed the glazes and Staehr-Nielsen created the shapes. Several generations of Danish potters worked there and helped to establish the classic Saxbo style of simple stoneware shapes and Asian style glazes. The factory closed in 1968.
