About the manufacturer:
The Mobach Ceramics factory was established in Utrecht in 1895 by Klaas Mobach (1855-1928). Since the establishment, five generations of Mobachs have been working with a team of staff in an historic building on Kanaalweg, Utrecht. Through the century, the method hardly changed. All ceramics are thrown on the wheel or shaped by hand from coils or sheets of clay. The ceramic pieces, such as the bodies of this set, owe their distinctive look to the exclusive glazes, which are composed according to the company’s own recipe. Due to the high firing temperature, Mobach ceramics are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. ~H.
