The production of the "Wormser Terra Sigillata" started in Germany in the city of Worms from the passion of the ceramist Jean Kling (1878-1946) for the ancient roman ceramics known as Terra Sigillata.
After numerous experiments he patented his invention in 1937.
The actual production of decorative objects with the typical red or black opaque patina only started at the end of the 40s.

Very good vintage condition, no chips or cracks, minor signs of age and use.
