Porcelain bowls, the first ones I made in 2005 and I still@love the shape and the energy of them – now these cups are ready for the shop by next week. #ceramics #cup #clay #tea #teacup #teabowl #shades #porcelain #pottery #handmade #handthrown #white #zen #minimalism #minimal #glaze #shades #making #light #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #tableware

After yesterday’s chaos, today’s tidiness – my sweet teabowls in transluscent porcelain: Waiting for the morning tea in my apartment in Zurich. So these two – I made them in 2004 – are for my privat use but sure there are similar pieces in my shop in Zurich and soon in my online shop. #pottery #pot #clay #porcelain #tea #teacup #teabowl #ceramics #ceramicdesign #home #minimal #minimalism #space #making #handmade #handthrown #zurich #switzerland #shape #shades #glaze #japan #zen #quiet

A small porcelain treasure out of twenty: I was asked by the Museum Rietberg to make a series of small porcelain vases for the museum shop to accompany the exhibition ‘Zen Meister Sengai’, Zen master and painter in 1750-1837. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work there. This was in 2014 – time is flying… #ceramics #porcelain #vase #simple #zen #potter #pottery #clay #zurich #architecture #interior #beauty #museumrietberg #white #art #architecture #elegant #korea #photo #picture #minimal #minimalism #luxury #flowers #style #museum #exhibition #space #japan #china

It was such a beautiful light – I love to see the plates and cups and their white in the morning sun in my rural studio: this is a part from my porcelain tableware for breakfast, each piece is wheelthrown with limoges porcelain and a little bit different. So I have my favourites and I am happy when my love has another favourite – so we have no trouble in the early morning hours when we drink our coffees and eat our croissants!

The tea cup in porcelain seems a bit lost. Sometimes I feel a bit lost, too – especially when the renovation is not going on… this old house should become a studio and some exposition rooms but there are a lot of things to discuss because the house is under national protection. I made the plans now for the renovation and now I have to wait for permission – in the meantime I prepared a table with some modelling instruments and about hundred kilos of clay as visible on the third picture – so I can work on other ideas. #tea #architecture #porcelain #weekend #tableware #keramik #space #coffee #pottery #composition #exhibition #interiordesign #crafts #series #making #simple #holiday #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #renovation #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #potter #minimal

Cups and plates in porcelain from the beautiful ! Wheel-thrown and coated with a transparent glaze that makes a wonderful and transluscent surface, very white and clean and delicate! I am not at all an early bird, but the idea that this kind of tableware is waiting for me makes me get up much more essier. Have a good day everybody! Here in Zurich ist is terribly cold and grey and I wish to be somewhere else where the sun is laughing: Who from you is living on the sunny side of the world?!? #tea #ceramics #porcelain #breakfast #tableware #keramik #delicate #coffee #pottery #composition #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #morning #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #food #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #potter #minimal

Another couple of the porcelain bowls, this time without plates: They are already in the ‘new’ old house I am renovating for another pottery studio and some exhibition rooms. During the renovation I often need some tea or coffee – and also the people with me – because in such a very old house you have a lot to discuss and think about the best solutions. There is still a lot to do there…..But it is graet to have such an opportunity! #coffee #ceramics #porcelain #fine #exhibition #keramik #delicate #tea #pottery #composition #perfection #handmade #crafts #series #making #simple #porcelain #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #scene #picoftheday #japan #light #potter #minimal

Today on Good Friday I found this pic from a handbuilt pot done by me with a golden cross done by a goldsmith: Throwback to a beautiful exhibition from years ago. I made seven pairs of quite big pots, a smaller one and a bigger, all handbuilt and fired in the open fire. The one you see here is done with a red clay and it shows black marks from the smoke. Unfortunately all of them were sold. Only he photos and memories remain…. #ceramics #bowls #fire #exhibition #keramik #goodfriday #red #pottery #smoke #perfection #handmade #craft #series #making #simple #black #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #cross #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #jewelry #installation #japan #gold #potter #minimal

New! I made some matcha teabowls, wheel thrown by hand with a dark red clay and coated with a blackbrown temmoku glaze. The glaze is just magical and also the form and volume is perfect for the matcha tea technique. During my time in Japan I drunk matcha tea quite often and of course I brought some with me for my home here in Zurich. #tea #ceramics #matchatea #bowls #exhibition #keramik #glaze #pottery #temmoku #perfection #handmade #craft #series #making #simple #black #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #teatime #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #installation #japan #drink #potter #minimal

Done! Tomorrow Monday my first guest presents his project: Leopold Isidor Krebs – an artist and a landscape architecture student – shows his plants in pots I have thrown for this project. Leopold likes eating exotic fruits – and also loves plants. So he kept seeds from the fruits he ate and planted them to see if they would grow in rather cold Switzerland… And it is like a miracle: Ananas, Maracuja, Avocado and many more are growing in his nursery. Black stoneware and a simple cylindrical shape in various diameters and heights seem to provide a firm base and offer solid protection for these delicate plants. I am very happy to present this installation in my shop from April, 10 to May, 20 – come and have a look, it is simply beautiful! #green #ceramics #plants #pots #exhibition #keramik #spring #pottery #glaze #perfection #handmade #craft #series #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #black #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #concept #installation #japan #drink #guest #minimal

Again a spring impression with tea and one of my teabowls, this one is coated with a green craquele celadon glaze. It was a busy day in my shop: Next Tuesday I will start with my first ‘guest’ at my studio and I am very curious to see the result of what he started creating today……A landscape architecture student brings his ideas in my world of pots and I am very excited!

I made some sugar bowls in porcelain, wheel thrown, very delicate and it cost me a lot of time. And now, when I took them out of the kiln, I am not really happy about them – do you know this feeling, when you made something and then it is not how you expected? What went wrong? Maybe only your expectation….so I try to avoid expectations in my life, but sometimes I am not succesful. #sweet #ceramics #porcelain #white #tableware #keramik #sugarbowl #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #glaze #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #bowl #modern #japan #drink #concept #minimal

Back to one of my passion: Teabowls. It was not always a passion, around fifeteen years ago I had no idea that teabowls exist….but when I made my first one – as an exercise when I learnt to throw – I started reading uncountable books about tea, tea ceremony, teahouses, the philosophy about and I was fascinated about the value, the diversity and history of tea. I then tried to make and find different shapes – and I am still going on – again and again and I also made a lot of glaze samples because I like this kind of ‘fashion design: To create an elegant dress for my bowls. My post from today shows you a wheel thrown stoneware teabowl in a classical shape, coated with a green glaze, matte and with different shadows. Hope you like it! #tea #ceramics #stoneware #green #tableware #keramik #teabowl #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #glaze #making #simple #elegant #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #fashion #modern #japan #drink #concept #minimal

Soup or salad? Rice or noodles? Anyway, the bowls from my stoneware and porcelain tableware collection are flexible – they are available in four different celadon craquele glazes, also in black and in white porcelain. You don’t like the foot? No problem, they exist without foot, too.

And porcelain again – plates and cups for breakfast, lunch or dinner? The pic is made in the old house I am renovating for a studio and an exhibition space in the south of Switzerland – the wooden floor is already cleaned, thx to one of my daughters who helped me. Plates and cups are wheel thrown by hand, so every piece has its own character. It is tricky to throw porcelain – at least for me. But the result is fantastic and worth every hard time……have a good start into the week everybody and hey, it starts with a sunny Monday here in Zurich️. #food #ceramics #porcelain #white #tableware #keramik #bowl #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #clay #making #simple #dinner #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #lunch #modern #japan #drink #concept #minimal

The breakfast set from my tableware collection in porcelain: The shape is more or less the same as in the stoneware collection – only the plate is different. Wheel thrown and coated with a transparent glaze, the cups in- and outside, the plate only inside. I play with glazes, sometimes.

My tableware collection in stoneware or porcelain has not only espresso cups, tea or coffee cups and breakfast plates but also plates for lunch or dinner. All wheelthrown and available in four celadon craquele glazes as shown in the posts before: Iceblue, seagreen, springgreen and earthbrown. Also in very white porcelain. Of course all the pieces are dishwashersafe…..As I started with this collection in 2008, I have a lot of feedback about and the shape and colors are still loved. That is what I wanted: A simple but also elegant tableware collection for more than only one season. #food #ceramics #stoneware #celadon #tableware #keramik #plates #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #clay #making #simple #lunch #contemporaryart #perfect #collection #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #dinner #modern #japan #eat #concept #minimal

My way to pottery – part 5. I will make it short and everybody here knows: I was going on with pottery. But after my five years as a potter student, the next two years I did not spend a lot time in my own studio producing. I often was there to think, to sketch and sometimes to make a kind of ‚prototype‘. I changed a lot in my life, first of all I started to work all alone in my workshop. That was a challenge: I was responsible for all I did. Nobody was around, when I had a problem, nobody who helps me, nobody who knows everything. But I also felt absolutely free and this was a great felling! Now, I was back being my own chief, also in my pottery studio. The second thing I changed was the size of the other company I had: I moved to a smaller building and formed also a smaller team. This was in 2011. Two years later we sold our house where also my first potter studio was. And finally, in 2015, I also sold my education and communication company. And now I am here: Working in a small potter studio in Zurich and living in a flat in the center of the city. Sometimes I also live in the South of Switzerland, where I have the 500 year old house I showed you weeks ago – today’s foto shows my porcelain tableware on the old wooden floor. I will start the renovation in April and the project is to create a potter studio there and a small exhibition space. And in Zurich? Of course I am going on working in my studio and in addition to that I will start with four to five exhibitions of other artists a year. There is so many talented people around and I am happy to offer a space where I can bring together some of them. Btw: In the next days I will publish a first program on my website. I am curious about everything. And: An absolutely unexpected thing happened in this community: I found wonderful artists here on instagram and with some of them I will start the first exhibitions in my studio in Zurich. Stay tuned. #tea #ceramics #porcelain #tableware #bowl #keramik #white #pottery #series #perfection #handmade #craft #clay #making #simple #exhibition #contemporaryart #perfect #glaze #stilllife #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #kunst #modern #japan #elegant #korea #minimal

Winter. Still waiting for spring. Vase, wheelthrown, coated with a white matte glaze. It is again cold in Zurich. I promised to talk about my way to pottery because @_jessica_coates_ asked me to do this – today I will start: All began when i was seventeen – quite a long time ago. I was at school and for the first time they offered a potter class during the free time. Sure I was one of the first who took this opportunity because I love everything that has nothing to do with following rules or executing commands……The teacher was Chinese and it was a stroke of luck for me. She was great, a freak with a sense of humour mixed with intelligence. I wanted to start with a teapot, handbuilt – she laughed, I will never forget. A teapot? she said. Really? This is one of the most difficult works and not really a work to start with. But of course: I started with a teapot. And I started an adventure. #ceramics #vase #white #stoneware #beauty #tableware #pottery #series #minimal #handmade #craft #clay #making #flowers #stilllife #winter #simple #perfect #contemporaryart #zurich #switzerland #art #photo #scene #modern #japan #elegant #korea #china #exhibition Freundliche Grüsse / Best regards Helga Ritsch Inhaberin / Architektin **************************** ritsch&partnerInnen architektur&gestaltung culmannstrasse 46 ch-8006 Zürich +41 78 765 00 38 www.ritsch.com

My porcelaine bowls with the red mark in the morning light: Wheelthrown with porcelaine from Limoges, very white and translucent. You will find them in my online shop and in Zurich, too.

In 2008 I started throwing this simple form of bottle and cups and they seem still up to date. Wheelthrown in stoneware and coated with a transparent craquelee celadon glaze for an elegant surface. #ceramics #tableware #stoneware #contemporaryart #series #pottery #zen #making #handmade #craft #clay #photooftheday #Kunst #stilllife #celadon #minimal #simple #perfect #bw #zurich #switzerland #architecture #photo #picoftheday #delicate #japan #elegant #korea #china #exhibition
