Rose love
If you have a soft spot for floral designs, love rose patterns, and appreciate colorful—perhaps even slightly romantic—styles, you won’t want to miss Dörthe Ries’s “Rosenliebe” tableware line. Cheerful red and bold violet dominate the color palette of the rose decoration, applied with a loose hand. Traces of the creative process, such as turning grooves and deformations, are intentionally incorporated, uniting form and surface. The newer works are somewhat more abstract: freer forms and delicately watercolor-painted backgrounds combine here with sketch-like drawings and shapes to form a harmonious whole.

Dörthe Ries Main areas of work well explained:
Glaze is a glass-like layer which, from a purely functional point of view, is mainly used to provide the porous shards underneath (term for a fired ceramic mass) with a waterproof, dense coating.
Engobe refers to a mixture of finely slurried clay liquefied with water, which is applied to raw or also bisqued ceramic workpieces for decoration.
Thanks to its modern technology, the electrically powered kiln is a relatively safe firing method that can be used to fire at high temperatures.
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "unique vessel" is associated with special, artistic vessels.
The term "utility ceramics" is used in the context of the "International Ceramics Days Oldenburg" to refer to handmade ceramics which, no matter what form they take, are primarily geared to function.
