Trilogy of cups or Japanese-style goblets by the Danish ceramist Gutte Eriksen using RAKU technique.

Trilogy of cups or tea mugs by the Danish ceramist Gutte Eriksen. Gutte Eriksen (1918-2008) was born in Rødby on the island of Lolland, Denmark. She studied at the Kunsthåndværkskolen in Copenhagen from 1936 to 1939. In 1948, she spent two months working with Bernard Leach in St Ives, and later that year, she worked in France with Pierre Lion and Vassil Ivanoff. She visited Japan to work with potters there in 1970, and again in 1973. It was her personal interpretation of items for everyday use – jugs, cups, mugs, vases – that became the foundation of her work. The largest measures 7 cm in height, followed by 6 cm and 5.5 cm for the other two. For the diameters: 8 cm, 7 cm, and 5 cm and 7 cm. Some original email is missing on the middle one.
