Dating from around 1960, this example was made in Denmark, and features an all-metal Tre Spade grinder. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of Quistgaard's mills, the design of this piece is sculptural and attractive yet highly functional. The carved-out top section, for example, becomes a very comfortable 'grip' for grinding the mill, while none of the highly stylised yet carefully considered elements of the design impede on the practicality of the piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ca title=\"Stig Guldberg's 2010 documentary on Quistgaard\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2022555\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eStig Guldberg's 2010 documentary on Quistgaard\u003c\/a\u003e the latter proclaims: \"The finished product must display harmony but its usefulness must not be affected just for the sake of making it pretty.
