Not subject to fashion

Sensitivity and artistry in dealing with the malleable material of clay was practically laid in Anne Reichmann-Knothe's cradle. Born into a long-established family of potters, supported and inspired by the traditions of the art of pottery, she has found her very own, modern style. Her clear, timeless ceramics are characterised by finely turned stoneware dishes in muted colours and reduced to their essential form and shape. Neat table decoration for every day.
