How Our Porcelain Is Made

Old craft, rethought

From liquid slip to finished piece

Our workshop is the heart of everything. Every piece is made here the traditional way — entirely without machines. That's what sets us apart from industrially produced mass goods. Up to fourteen steps and more go into classical porcelain making, each one carried out in sequence, every single one by hand.

Step by step

The design is first modelled precisely in plaster and cast into a mould. Once the mould has dried, the liquid porcelain slip is poured in, carefully released, dried, retouched, and fired at around 900°C. After this first firing, the body has the stability needed for glazing. The second — sharp or smooth — firing follows after glazing, at around 1300°C.

Decors, Surfaces and the Finishing Touch

Decorations are applied by screen printing or hand-painting, then fired into the transparent glaze a third time — or more. Unglazed surfaces are sanded and polished by hand at the end, making the porcelain soft and smooth to the touch.

Care and everyday use

Firing at high temperature produces a dense, white-translucent body — stable and long-lasting. All pieces are dishwasher safe, decorations are permanently fired into the glaze, and all surfaces are food safe. Unglazed outer surfaces are finely sanded and polished to a velvety softness. For stubborn marks, a damp eraser sponge does the trick.
