History: Founded in 1883 by Peter Dümler and his brother in law Albert Breiden in western Germany near Koblenz, this factory was one of West Germany’s leading ceramic companies during the 1950s and 1960s. They produced a wide range of forms and glazes of good quality, using white clay and with innovative styles and colors. The company closed in 1992. From inception we can admire its earliest designers: artists van der Velde and Reinhold Hanke, and others.
