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.

Domestic pieces boasted intricate patterns like rosettes and cherubs. The Keramikmuseum Westerwald showcases its rich history.
