Westerw\u00e4lder Steinzeug Objekte aus der Zeit des Barock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 17th century, the glaze and blue colouring of objects from the Westerwald became rich, fluid and highly lustrous. This is characteristic of stoneware from the Westerwald at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To replace the rich imagery of the Renaissance, the potters of the Baroque period replicated the range of small coverings, rosettes, diamonds, palmettes, buttons, lion masks and angel heads, flowering branches, vases, triangles, stars, grapes and the like ad infinitum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Als Ersatz f\u00fcr den Bilderreichtum der Renaissance wurde von den T\u00f6pfern der Barockzeit der Vorrat an kleinen Bel\u00e4gen, den Rosetten, Rauten, Palmetten, Kn\u00f6pfchen, L\u00f6wenmasken und Engelsk\u00f6pfchen, Bl\u00fctenzweiglein, Vasen, Dreiecken, Sternen, Trauben und dergleichen ins Unendliche vervielf\u00e4ltigt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of this was already in use as subsidiary ornamentation in Raeren, especially in the workshop of Jan Baldems Mennicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sculptural effect of these decorations is limited, as the artistic objective is entirely focused on colour. Apart from the grey of the clay, the potters only had the cobalt blue and the manganese violet of the brownstone at their disposal, but both colours developed a depth and lushness enhanced by the the salt glaze that no other European pottery region of the time could match.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die plastische Wirkung dieser Verzierungen ist gering, denn die k\u00fcnstlerische Absicht ist ganz auf Farbigkeit gerichtet. Den T\u00f6pfern stehen neben dem Grau der Masse nur das Kobaltblau und das Manganviolett des Braunsteins zur Verf\u00fcgung, aber beide Farben entwickeln unter dem Scharffeuer und der Salzglasur eine Tiefe und Saftigkeit, an die keine andere europ\u00e4ische T\u00f6pferware der Zeit herankommt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
