Designer:
Maria Philippi (1927–2004) was a renowned German ceramic artist who worked for a brief period from 1962 to 1964 at the Danish ceramics workshop Søholm on Bornholm. Her time at Søholm was brief but highly influential, and her designs continued to be produced for several years afterward, particularly in the 1970s. She created both functional ceramic pieces and artistic objects characterized by her experimental use of glazes and decorations.

She is best known for her earthenware pieces, including table lamps, bowls, and wall plaques. Her work remained in high demand both during and after her time at Søholm, and her pieces are now considered valuable examples of mid-century Danish ceramic art.

She also collaborated closely with other prominent designers and ceramicists from Søholm, including Einar Johansen and Noomi Backhausen.
