Maker

Jydepotter refers to a tradition of dark earthenware from Jutland, Denmark, made without glaze and finished through burnishing and smoke firing. The vessels were formed for the kitchen and table: liquids kept under a lid, fat or batter poured through a spout, curds or washed food drained through pierced clay. Their darkness comes from the firing, giving the clay a surface that can look almost metallic in places, with small variations left by hand pressure and the slow swathe of smoke.
