Attention to Frisian Pottery in Berlin

2 October 2017

Frisian Pottery received the necessary attention in the Museum Europäischer Kulturen in Berlin last September. For two months there was an exhibition about the ‘Frisians’ in the Museum Europäischer Kulturen in Berlin. Besides the German part, there was also a lot of interest in the Dutch part of Friesland. Deputy Sietske Poepjes opened the exhibition, among other things. The conclusion was partly provided by an inspiring lecture about Frisian Pottery, history and manufacture by Rikus Oswald, director Harlinger Pottery and Tile Factory. The wide interest in the lecture once again demonstrates the interest and respect for Frisian blue!
