The new purism

From sandy white to lava black: the color spectrum of Alscher and Kreiterling's tableware could hardly be more pure and natural. The original materiality of the clay characterizes their tableware series, which are produced under the label "tovaa" in their own manufactory in the hustle and bustle of St. Pauli. Glazed white on the inside, unglazed on the outside and fired at 1240°, they are not only a tactile experience, but also really shock-resistant and dishwasher-safe.
