Frank Breiter produces down-to-earth, yet contemporary utility ceramics in the best tradition of craftsmanship on the basis of time-honoured techniques and proven forms. Stoneware clay containing pyrite with its characteristic speckling provides the painting ground for the decoration of his cups, plates, bowls, jugs and quiche moulds inspired by traditional slip painting and makes these "beautiful things that serve a purpose in everyday life," according to Frank Breiter, unmistakable.
