Michelle Erickson Ceramics Delftware Mugs GOD BLES THE QVEEN, BOYES BEE MERRY

About the Item

Thrown tin glazed white stoneware with handpainted metallic oxide slip decoration. Michelle Erickson’s contemporary versions of a 17th century English Delftware drinking vessel called a ‘caudling cup’.. Erickson adapts the 17th century sentiments of “ GOD SAVE THE QVEEN” and “BEE MERRY BOYES” to decry the 21st century civil liberties of the LGBTQ community. Excerpt from the annual journal Ceramics In America 2018 Robert Hunter Michelle Erickson DISTILLED “Michelle Erickson is internationally recognized for her mastery of colonial-era ceramic techniques used in her creation of twenty-first-century social, political, and environmental narratives. As a ceramic artist, she transcends the past and present with an unparalleled understanding of period ceramic technology gained through years of observation and experimentation…. She has set the standard for the current fashionable use of historical references in the field of ceramic arts.[1]”
