Bio:
In the second half of the 20th century, studio pottery flourished across Europe, shaped by artists and ceramicists working in small workshops with an emphasis on craftsmanship, experimental glazes, and unique forms. Names such as Ernst Faxe and Tue are part of this Scandinavian studio pottery movement, where function and art merged into one-of-a-kind objects.
