Ove Fritz Rasmussen (1911–1973) was a Danish ceramicist and sculptor known for his ceramics and sculptures. He was born in Middelfart, Denmark, and from 1961 until his death in 1973 worked in his own workshop, Båtabackens Keramik, in Sweden. His work is wide-ranging, but he is especially recognised for his ceramic vases and figurative sculptures, often inspired by the human body. He worked mainly in stoneware and is known for a signature with the initials “OR”. Rasmussen had a characteristic minimalist and natural style, reflected in his works.
