TONangebend - Westerwald stoneware conquers Europe and the world
Lecture by Annette Zeischka-Kenzler, Ceramics Museum Westerwald, Höhr-Grenzhausen

Who doesn't know the gray stoneware with its blue painting? From the end of the 16th century, the Kannenbäckerland developed into a leading center for the production of luxury ceramics. This was due to the transfer of technology through migration from Raeren and Siegburg, as well as a clever, well-organized trade policy.
The robust yet fragile wares were relatively easy to transport to the major seaports in the Netherlands via the Rhine as the main artery. Once there, the world was open to ceramics. The waterproof and acid-resistant stoneware was indispensable for centuries. A first top product 'Made in Germany'.
