This is a very fine, white and transluscent porcelain bowl, handthrown with all my concentration and skills I had – the result seems quiet and delicate and the bowl is one of my favourite works: Today it founds a new owner….

White as a concept. A set of porcelain teabowls, they are white as snow on a winter day. Cold outside and I am waiting for warmer days….

Vase – handthrown dark clay coated with a white matte glaze. This is the last piece of a series of twelve. Maybe I keep it for my house and my flowers: I am sure all potters know the feeling when a favourite work is gone, it is often followed from a kind of emptiness. That is why I keep a work from time to time because I try to avoid this feeling. Silly, I know….

Teacups coated with a green celadon craquele glaze – there are always some of these in my shop because I love them very much: I started with this shape more then ten years ago and it is still one of my favourites and I think it is a timeless classic. I also make them in porcelain or in a black clay as well as in regular stoneware in different colors: In a warm brown, an ice blue and in the green you see on the pic.

Porcelain teabowl – I like the very fine form of the bowl and it is a pleasure to drink a warm tea – especially when it is so horrible cold outside: below zero celsius here in Switzerland .

My Japan trip comes to an end: Last day in Tokyo with three of my teacups, an iron black one, a translucent porcelain one and a celadon green one. I spent very interesting days in Japan and met wonderful people around, drunk a lot of tea and coffee as well and and and….. I really hope to come back one day: Million thanks to all the Japanese, you are just great!

Tokyo and Tadao Ando and colors in November – my Japan trip has started very colorful with sunshine and rain at the same day. I am jetlagged but happy to be here.

Two white vases 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. #ceramics #zurich #switzerland #simple #zen #potter #pottery #clay #porcelain #vase #handmade #potsinaction #museumrietberg #white #art #architecture #fff #picoftheday #photo #picture #minimal #minimalism #lfl #flowers #style #museum #exhibition #space #japan #china
