I keep having to do this…

I did it again, more oven spring, not quite sure why? The unseasonal temperatures?

Today visit was a little frustrating.

Nice exhibits, appropriately labelled, starting with Roman period earthenware and continuing to contemporary and technical ceramics.

How clay is dug, how a potters wheel is used, how stoneware is burnt, including a very nice replica Kannenofen.

Of course Bartmänner are also on display.

Several ornate, brown ceramic jugs with embossed designs and facial features are displayed in a glass case.

Some of the connections to Siegburg, Raeren, Frechen, Cologne are mentioned, but, of the complex trade that carried the finished wares all over the world, no mention.

Of how the decorations on the stoneware aimed at a growing affluent group of lesser nobility, clergy and trades and let the potters compete with cheaper earthenware and more expensive pewter, no word.

A wall features multiple shelves filled with rows of vintage, brownish stoneware bottles, creating a visually striking display.

There is a whole wall of stoneware bottles. There is a mention, that they were produced to order for Portuguese wine, English gin, sparkling water… But again, no mention of the trade routes.

The website is better, but has no links to sources. Still, if you are close, a fun morning or afternoon.

It is, well, risen

Longer autolysis, longer cold fermentation, less faff, quite chuffed
