For more than 80 years, thanks to honest craftsmanship, timeless ceramics are created here. Many potters and pottery painters have even personally learned their craft from the founder and continue to produce their "disposable series" in HB workshops according to original designs. The designs developed by Hedwig Bollhagen are as sophisticated as they are unique, giving each item a distinctive, unique design. The rough, skin-hard pieces receive a thin layer of black clay before the first round of the firing process. Pottery makers and painters trained by Hedwig Bollhagen in the scratching technique of sgraffito, then draw detailed patterns on these fine works. The resulting intricate and geometric sculptural HB patterns are timeless in their elegant accuracy, making each piece a work of art and a true classic. We especially like the handcrafted ceramic vases with original designs from the 1930s that are still timelessly beautiful.
