Fayence weiß mit blauem Gitter Glasur glänzend

HB faience is created by inglaze painting. After the first firing, a white covering glaze is applied to the ceramics. After drying, our ceramic painters, some of whom were trained by Hedwig Bollhagen, hand-paint their famous colored faience decorations into the glaze. In the so-called smooth firing, the glaze combines with the decor painted with engobe and fixes it. The ceramic "safe" colors form the classics with blue, yellow and black. Red is considered a "volatile color" and often fades in the smooth firing. All colors belong to Hedwig Bollhagen's typical faience decors, which are to be understood as a homage to the farmer's pottery that she so admired.
