Craftsmanship and tradition:
The ceramics from Gmunden are truly unique pieces that impress with their handcrafted production and painting. Each product is individually designed, which makes them unique. Particularly noteworthy is the characteristic "green-flamed" design, which impresses with green bands on a white background and is known worldwide.
