Burnt in the fire!

Wood kiln firing is Sabine Kratzer's trademark. She uses this original method of firing to produce tea bowls and other utility ceramics made of porcelain and stoneware - coated with shino and ori glazes. Fine color nuances, a feeling for the diverse characteristics of the glazes and lively shapes characterize the overall appearance of the ceramics.
