A rare handcrafted tableware set by Danish ceramicist Poul Bækhøj (1942–2017), known for his earthy glazes and timeless studio pieces.
The set includes 4 cups with matching saucers and 4 side plates, each individually hand-thrown and signed beneath.
The warm brown stoneware exterior contrasts with the soft cream interior, where natural crazing adds depth and character. A fine example of mid-century Danish studio pottery — both functional and soulful.

About the Artisan
Poul Bækhøj (1942–2017) was a Danish ceramicist and sculptor who began his career in Aarhus. His early works explored ceramics with simple, generous forms and refined ornamentation. In the 1980s, his focus turned toward sculpture — especially in granite — where he shaped works that balanced strength, rhythm, and space.
Bækhøj created pieces that are today represented in museums and public spaces across Denmark. His ceramics and sculptures remain a testament to his ability to unite form and feeling, craft and presence.
