Ana Maria Jensen

While staying at my boyfriend's holiday home, I have been taking my espresso in the most gorgeous cup and saucer by designer Ana Maria Hernandez Y Jensen. She lives in country Victoria and makes beautiful ceramics. Here is what she says about her work (lifted from the Wilkins and Kent online store - they stock her smaller pieces):

“During my stay in Denmark, many years ago, I did an apprentice as a potter, at Sonderborg technical school. Beside Denmark I have worked in several countries, England, France....and now in Australia. I came here more than 10 years ago. But I will always look back to the danish craftsmanship and style, and will have them as my strongest influence. I make a range of hand thrown domestic ware, to be used in everyday life, and still pleasant to the eye.”

I love this green triangular bowl in stock at Wilkins and Kent - that beautiful green colour reminds me of a watermelon's skin.
