In balance 

Timeless elegance characterizes the perfection of Mechthild Poschlod's vessel compositions: noble, monochrome glazes in rich, delicate colors, sometimes covered with finely meshed craquelé, enclose perfectly turned, thick-walled bowls, plates, bowls and vases resting on raised feet. The angular austerity of her free-plastic box or cube objects is softened by a polished surface that is still smooth as velvet after firing.
