Crimmitschau, Deutschland
Family pottery from Crimmitschau, Saxony: hand-thrown tableware, personalised mugs, vases and decor – made by hand on the wheel since 1983.
„Small differences in size and shade are the proof of genuine handwork."
Sabine Steuernagel founded the pottery in 1983; since January 2022 her son Sebastian Steuernagel has run the family workshop. The team includes journeyman potter Annetta Woityzcka, there since 1991, and designer Anja Sohrmann.
Shapes and sizes have stayed the same for years so pieces can always be re-ordered – from the 50 ml espresso cup and the 430 ml farmhouse mug to the giant mug holding 650–700 ml. Every mug is glazed glossy brown inside; lettering such as "Mama", "Papa", "Oma", "Opa" or a custom text is applied by hand.
Workshop and shop sit at Westbergstraße 3 in Crimmitschau. Firing is done in a two-stage process: first at 950 °C unglazed, then with a food-safe inner glaze and two matte outer layers that melt into lively surfaces in the second firing.
