Maggie King Ceramics

About the Artist

I create one-of-a-kind ceramic vessels for the table — pieces that echo the form and soul of pre-medieval Europe. My work is rooted in classical silhouettes and ancient mark-making traditions. Each vessel is wheel-thrown, then carved, stamped, and inlaid with slip. I glaze only the interior and occasionally small parts of the exterior, allowing the raw clay to carry its own voice.

Staring back in 2008, I studied and recreated historical ceramics for museums and festivals across Europe. Those experiences continue to inform my current modern work. I continue to study archaeological records, tracing the shared language of form, ornament, and function across centuries and cultures. These modern pieces aren’t reproductions — they’re echoes. Amalgamations of my memories from museums, travel, and previous projects, designed to be used, felt, and passed on.
