Display artist/maker:

Ursula Scheid

Born: 1932, Germany, Baden-Württemberg, Freiburg im Breisgau   Died: 2008, Germany, Hesse, Frankfurt am Main

Ceramicist. Scheid trained in Darmstad, Germany and was married to Karl Scheid who had been apprenticed to Harry Davis in Cornwall. They shared a studio in Dudelsheim, Germany. Scheid’s work reflects the German design aesthetic.

Her pot forms are perfectly made and possess a natural grace and harmony. She worked in both stoneware and porcelain, decorating with slips and transparent glazes. Scheid was a member of “The London Group” of six German ceramicists who first exhibited at Henry Rothschild’s gallery, ‘Primavera’, in the late 1960s.
