Bull 1010: Glaze Yellow
Bull 1010: Glaze Yellow
Our Otto Keramik bulls are handcrafted in Rheinbach, Germany, using the finest clay sourced from the renowned Westerwald region. Our meticulous process starts with selecting and processing this premium clay, ensuring its purity and quality. It's then transformed into a smooth slip through precise filtration.
The slip is carefully poured into specially designed plaster molds, shaping the bull while removing excess moisture. After drying, we carefully remove the bull, then meticulously cutting away by hand any remaining clay seams. A final touch of sponging results in a silky-smooth surface.
To add a creative flair, we apply carefully selected glazes, including striking black Fat Lava accents in specific areas. The bulls are then fired in our kilns at 1040°C, where the magic happens as the glazes fuse with the clay.
Each Otto Keramik bull is a true piece of art-pottery, showcasing the beauty of Westerwald clay and the craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
The delivery time for your unique piece is approximately 4 weeks after receipt of order.
An icon of ceramic design: the Otto Bull.
Sovereignly powerful
Designed by Kurt Tschörner for Ruscha Keramik and ingeniously continued by Otto Gerharz, the Otto Bull has stood for powerful form, the highest material standards, and undisputed mastery in every detail since the 1960s. An Otto Bull is not a decoration; it is a statement. Its form is clear, present, and unmistakable. Crafted from the famous Westerwald clay, glazed in the iconic Otto glazes, and fired at 1040°C, each Otto Bull is part of a long tradition that remains relevant today.
