The Wechsler-Tirolkeramik manufactory is a well—known Austrian company specializing in the production of artistic ceramics. The production facility is located in Schwaz (Tyrol, Austria) at Husslstraße 29.
The manufactory was especially active in the middle and second half of the 20th century. At the same time, there are products dating back to the 1930s, 1950s and 1970s-80s. The company belongs to the category of modern art workshops (Kunst-Töpferei).
The products of the manufactory are a striking example of Alpine (Tyrolean) craft. The main style is "country" or "farmer chic". The products are characterized by hand-painted (Handbemalt / Handgemalt). Each item was hand-painted by craftsmen, which makes them unique.
The plot of the decorations is formed by floral ornaments. Traditional Alpine bouquets (wild flowers, edelweiss, roses and even berries) are used in bright colors on a light or cream background.
Over the decades, the manufactory has produced a wide range of objects, from decorative wall plates and vases to jugs, butter dishes and souvenir beer mugs.
Today, Wechsler-Tirolkeramik products are highly appreciated by collectors of vintage European ceramics for their "homely" aesthetics and the preservation of ancient traditions of Austrian artisans. The source of the information on the link: [link]
