Trude Barner Jespersen, Denmark.
In the 1960s - 1970s she produced a series of designs for Bing & Grondahl. It was a stunning series of contemporary porcelain designs which Im surprised are not more well known.

Tue Poulsen Denmark
Tue Poulsen Denmark
From time to time I come across beautifully formed stoneware forms from Denmark, stamped “TUE” in tiny letters underneath. Tue is the stamp of Tue Poulsen (b1939 -) a highly accomplished ceramicist and artist who has a permanent gallery and studio in Fårevejle, in the east of Zealand, Denmark.
Update October 2026. I read online the Tue passed away on January 14, 2026. His family remains active at his pottery and the Tue Poulsen website is still active at http://tuekeramik.dk.
His sculptural work is astonishing, but equally accomplished are his ceramic vessels – often produced in series. The first image below is of a piece I found recently at an Auction.
On Tue’s website he also has photographs of early series and works like the one above – which is great to help identify the era pieces were made in.
In addition to his own studio pottery, Poulsen has also designed pieces for Stogo (1963, 1976)), Torben Orskov (1963), lamps for Domus Danica (1970), furniture for Westnova (1973) and ceramics for Knabstrup (1973).

Joghus Denmark
Joghus was a pottery on the island of Potteries - Bornholm, Denmark. I was very excited to recently find that in the archives of the city of Roenne, Bornholm are several pages and photo archives of Joghus Pottery.
