BT Rose with Yellow Salt glaze.
Strobist details: Got myself one of those cheap Amazon shooting tents, set up a 285HV on each side triggered with a Phottix Ares.
I think this jug was made around 1910 in Kutahya. The decoration, which is quite fine, resembles that used later by the Balian family and United Workshop in Jerusalem. The jug was probably made by an Armenian pottery just prior to the expulsion from Turkey. Could it be earlier? All comments welcome.

DESCRIPTION
A stunning vintage 1930s, Swiss Bauhaus era design, studio pottery teapot with natural ceramic tone.
It was designed and made by the Fritz and Helen Haussmann Atelier in Uster Switzerland (1928-1961).
Its downwardly pointing spout design has been invented, maybe even patented, by the Haussmann atelier.
The simple form mirrors the influences of the Bauhaus movement.
The teapot is sleek, practical and easy to use.
But it is above all a wonderfull and very rare decorative piece!
Context and History:
Completely in keeping with the art and craft-related endeavours of the 20th century, the young ceramicist couple Fritz (1900 – 1968) and Helen (1905 – 1989) Haussmann opened a "ceramic workshop" in Uster in 1928. Items produced there included tableware and ceramic art. The company evolved rapidly. The everyday pottery conformed with the contemporary and modern sense of form.
In the ceramic art we see simplicity of forms and experimentation with glazes from the outset. The fact that this endeavour had an unforeseeable outcome is demonstrated by three small bowls from the very early period. The vases created somewhat later and the bowls with yellow crackle glaze are indicative of growing security and unbridled joy in experimenting however.
The early forties saw the first attempts with stoneware and with the so-called china firing, a reduction firing technique. Glazes were produced with obvious East Asian influences. The forms and examples with running glaze are also reminiscent of the Far East. This reflects a renewed interest in Eastern Asian ceramics appearing in Western ceramics following the Second World War. With a whole range of high quality products in the forties and fifties, the Haussmann workshop created a pioneering role for Switzerland in this area. A little later, Mario Mascarin (1901 – 1966) and next generation representatives such as Philippe Lambercy (1919 – 2006) and Edouard Chappalaz (*1921) would go on to develop this style further.

This is a teacup for green tea, called Yunomi in Japanese, my son painted.
On a school-excursion, children did the painting on a unglazed pottery. After one month, baked ceramics were sent to the school.
