ABOUT WESTERWALD POTTERY
Westerwald pottery, originating from the Westerwaldkreis region in Germany, is renowned for its salt-glazed grey stoneware adorned with cobalt blue designs. This stoneware is renowned for its glossy surface created by the salt glaze. The Westerwald pottery emerged in the late 16th century when potting families from Siegburg and Raeren migrated to the area, bringing their craft. By the 17th century, it gained global popularity, featuring portraits of figures like William III of England and Louis XIV of France. Domestic pieces boasted intricate patterns like rosettes and cherubs. The Keramikmuseum Westerwald showcases its rich history.
