Jeppesen / the logo features a stylized figure, possibly a pixie or gnome, holding what looks like a bucket in one hand and a tool, perhaps a hammer or a rake, in the other. This figure is incorporated into a large, stylized letter 'p'.based on the logo and the "made in denmark" text, it's very likely that this is the mark for a company called "p. Jeppesen" or "p. J. Jeppesen", a danish manufacturer. The figure of the pixie is a well-known part of their branding. They were known for producing a variety of plastic and household goods, including baskets, planters, and other items.
