Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Potters' guilds were organized as early as 1511 in Lower Silesia. In these early days, pottery was crafted by hand and decorated with a folk art stamping technique using potatoes. Farmers traditionally made pottery in the winter; cold weather halted work outside and farmers' families moved to handwork in front of their fireplaces. Pottery from this period was typically simple - simple in design and simple in coloring. Many of the hand-rolled utilitarian pieces were decorated with white ornamentation, with the oldest surviving piece of this style dating to 1711 and today housed in a museum. The guilds provided norms for quality and design but, crafted in individual homes, each bowl and plate was necessarily a unique work of art.
