Bergs Potter calls this collection "Belle", and the "Beauty" represents its name with the natural grace of organic shapes - in keeping with the hand production on the potter's wheel, which makes each bowl unique. Turning on the potter's wheel leaves fine marks on the ceramic surface that elegantly surround the bowl, as characteristic as the annual rings of a tree. Made from majolica clay, the inside of the bowl is coated with a transparent, food-safe glaze after biscuit firing - the first firing at a moderate temperature - instead of the classic opaque tin glaze, before the body is fired a second time. Natural-colored and unglazed on the outside, the bowls have a water-impermeable inside thanks to the inner glaze. In addition to utensils or felt flowers, you can also use them to store your daily apple or arrange fresh cut flowers.

When Victor Berg inherited his ceramics business in Copenhagen in 1942, it was particularly important to him to make the everyday lives of his fellow human beings a little more colorful in gray times. In the words of the Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen: "Life alone is not enough, said the butterfly. You must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." So Berg always kept a bouquet of vases and pots in his store and also added cut flowers to the range. The people of Copenhagen liked this - over the years, several stores in the Danish capital were added, and eventually also plant pots and planters based on his own designs. When Victor Berg's children joined the family business in the 1980s, they began to have their own ideas - initially inspired by historical models that they found all over Europe - molded in terracotta. To this end, Bergs Potter still works with traditional potteries in Tuscany, more precisely in Lucca, and now also in Portugal; a tradition that is now being continued with great dedication by the third generation of Bergs. The preferred material is the famous southern Tuscan Galestro clay, which is rich in minerals and is considered to be particularly frost-resistant. Once fired, even the unglazed terracotta can show shades of red and pink, gray and white - an appealing natural patina that only this clay possesses. Another advantage for the health of your potted plants: the carbonate and potassium salts contained in the clay ensure good permeability, which can have a particularly positive effect on the development of the root system.
