Origin & Maker

Schramberg Majolika, founded in 1820 in the town of Schramberg in Germany’s Black Forest region, quickly established itself as one of the leading manufacturers of pottery and earthenware. Known for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs, the company produced a wide range of items, from functional kitchenware to decorative ceramics. Schramberg was especially famous for its Majolica pottery, characterized by its rich, colorful glazes, intricate designs, and distinctive textures. Throughout its history, the company collaborated with renowned artists and designers, contributing to its reputation for cutting-edge and stylish pieces.

In the mid-20th century, Schramberg's designs took on a distinctly modernist flair, with patterns such as Bernau gaining widespread popularity. Introduced in the 1960s, the Bernau pattern is a vivid example of mid-century design, featuring bold, raised floral motifs in striking colors. This pattern, with its tactile appeal and durable ironstone base, became an instant hit and remains highly sought after by collectors today. The combination of a glossy, majolica-like glaze and the raised texture of the Bernau pattern made it both visually stunning and a joy to handle, securing Schramberg's place in the hearts of pottery lovers.
