Pottery houses

Our pottery houses are generally made of clay (red or yellow). Craftsmanship as well as a well developed sense for handicraft are the outstanding features of the production. there is no automation in the production method nor casting techniques, everything is made manually. After having dried the pottery houses are fired, glazed and fired again.
A production period of 1-2 days per piece are normal, 2-4 days are not unusual and models demanding very special work even take 1 week and more.

Many models are made according to the architectural style of the past centuries ans show their details. Some of the models only give a vague impression or feeling of old buildings. This is especially true for the castles.
Other are created just by the fantasy of the artists among the potters ans sometimes even make you laugh.

The models that meet with high approval are our authentic types!
These pottery houses are modelled on really existing buildings such as city halls, churches, city gates as well as whole streets and marketplaces. Many of them are famous within the local area, others are well-known all over Germany and even beyond the German norders (The Cologne Cathedral, the Holstentor, the Hamburg Michel, the Bremen City Hall with Roland, the Heidelberg Castle.......and others).

This extensive programme is completed by a wide range of castles, which are partly fantastic, partly authentic.

Our pottery houses are used as lighted houses (with night-lights or a chain of lights), many of them (marked with an A) can be used as aroma houses (with water and aromatic oil) or as joss stick houses (smelling cone), the chimney or an inserted bowl serving as holder or receptacle respectively.
There are customers, who indeed collect many models.
Having a nice place and being lighted, these houses give a delightful sight and will catch your eye in any room of our home.

Some models such as the Cologne Cathedral, do not only require a decorative place but also a safe one.

There are no limits to your imagination how to compose villages or towns, streets, a motley collection, completed by a variety of decorative things - you are fully free in your ideas.

We hope that we have succeeded in giving you some ideas this way and that you will now enjoy watching and choosing our models.
