Nothing gets away from here...
A curved silver key as a handle completes the smoky blue and finely drawn porcelain jug. Its unspectacular cylindrical shape is further enhanced by delicate, thin feet. Aesthetically and skilfully Simone Krug-Springsguth combines old things of different materiality with fine porcelain or also coarse-grained clay. Contrasts or breaks find form and expression here in an excellent way.
