Bio:
Ursula Munch-Petersen (1937–2025) was a Danish ceramicist and designer, born in Rønne on the island of Bornholm as the fourth generation of the renowned Hjorth pottery family. She studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen from 1956 to 1960 and worked at Bing & Grøndahl from 1961 to 1968. She later established her own studio and began collaborating with Royal Copenhagen in 1987. Her Ursula earthenware collection was developed in the early 1990s and is recognised for its organic forms, vibrant colours and carefully considered functionality. She received the Thorvald Bindesbøll Medal in 1994 and is regarded as one of Denmarks significant modern ceramic artists.
