Heiner-Hans Körting (1911-1991) worked in famous Dornburg Pottery from 1949 onwards. Körting worked there together with Gerda Körting and Lisa Körting. Heiner Hans Körting's son Ulrich still runs the Dornburg studio.
The Dornburg Workshop has been first run by Max Krehan and in 1920 it became the Pottery Workshop of the Bauhaus School.
Walter Gropius searched for a potter who knows the craftmanship and found in Masterpotter Krehan the perfect person and his pottery has been the best possible location just 40km away from Weimar
Dornburg has been the only Bauhaus Workshop which hasn't been located in Weimar directly. Otto Lindig and Theodor Bogler worked in Dornburg and after the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau, the Dornburg Workshop has been took over by Otto Lindig and run from 1925 to 1949.
This vase is supposed to be from the 1960s and is one of the more rare pieces.
I really like the crystalline glazed pieces by Heiner Hans Körting, who has been one of the most influential east german potters.
