Founded in Ransbach-Baumbach in 1848, Jopeko began life making practical ceramics before turning towards modern decorative pottery in the late 1950s. Through the 1960s and 70s, the company became known for bold forms, vivid colour and richly textured glazes.
A lovely graphic piece of West German pottery by Jopeko, with an almost reptilian black-and-white crackle glaze covering the entire exterior.
A wonderfully tactile little piece from Jopeko, made in West Germany in the late 1950s. The rounded body is covered in the maker’s distinctive black-and-white shrink glaze, where the thick white surface contracts during firing to reveal the dark ground beneath in an irregular, almost cellular pattern.
A cracking little piece of late-1950s West German pottery from Jopeko Keramik — see what I did there?
Made by Jopeko Keramik in West Germany, it has a brilliant, twisted, sculptural shape covered in a thick white shrink glaze, with deep blue peeking through every crack and crevice underneath.
