Stamped

Richly decorated jugs, plates, jars and more in many shades and shapes, animal and human figures, also life-size and of great detail: the unmistakable repertoire of the ceramicist couple Margret and Wolf Ewert is characterised by its extremely lively surface structures. Buttons, stamps and more provide the patterning. The stylish, restrained colourfulness is created by engobes and firing in a wood-fired kiln. A glaze, which the couple produces from local apple tree ash, among other things, brings shine to the works.
