Antiquity in modern times

What is striking about Constanze Herrmann's ceramics is the uniform colouring in shades of black, grey and brown. The engobed, patiently polished and raku-fired unique vessels have a flattering feel. Few coloured accents distract from elegant contours with a matt-glossy surface and hint at the reference to antique glossy ceramics.
