Studio Pottery vase by Maria and Werner Schott from Petershagen

Stock Number: – OWA3605

Date: - Circa 1970

Materials: –  German  Clay; An Advantage For Potters! The extensive clay quarries of Germany are the largest connected deposits in Europe. Only a few other regions in the world are known to have clay sources of comparable size and quality. Around 15 different types of clay occur here, including a very valuable white clay also known as “white gold”. The clay from Germany has a high degree of ductility, is almost free of impurities and has very good sintering properties. These clays are perfectly suited for stoneware production, a high fired, waterproof, acid-resistant, impermeable pottery. The clay was easily kneaded, thrown, deformed as well as knitted, melt, beaten and whipped. It is a serious partner to the potter reacting to any treatment.
