Design Collection from Portugal
What makes the Bubble Pattern of the Blase Collection so distinctive?
The characteristic bubble pattern of the Blase Collection is created by gas bubbles during the firing process – an organic, playfully natural surface texture that no industrial process can imitate.
Nature reveals itself in patterns. Water drops on a surface, soap bubbles in the light, air bubbles in rising dough – all of this has an organic logic that appears both random and perfect. The Blase Collection by Töpferkunst translates exactly this principle into handcrafted stoneware. During the firing process at over 1,000 °C, gas bubbles form in the glaze, which are "frozen" as a characteristic surface texture. The result is tableware with a distinctive character.
The Blase Collection includes complete dinnerware sets: cups, plates, bowls, and serving pieces – all connected by the playfully natural bubble pattern that enlivens any table. Soft tones, organic textures, distinctive craftsmanship.

How does the bubble pattern form during the firing process?
Gas bubbles in the glaze mixture are "frozen" during firing at over 1,000 °C – the resulting surface texture is the distinctive hallmark of the Blase Collection.
The creation of the bubble pattern is both physics and craftsmanship – a process that the potter initiates but does not fully control:
"The bubble pattern is created in the fire. The craftsman creates the conditions – the nature of the firing process determines the result."
What happens during the formation of the characteristic pattern:
-
–Gas Release in the Glaze: Certain glaze additives release gases when heated, creating bubbles in the still-liquid glaze mass.
-
–Freezing upon Cooling: As the kiln cools, the glaze solidifies with the bubble structures – they are frozen as a three-dimensional texture in the surface.
-
–Individual Distribution: The size, density, and distribution of the bubbles vary from piece to piece – each cup, each plate has its own unique pattern.
-
–Haptic Quality: The bubble pattern is not only visible but also tangible – the surface has a pleasant, textured feel.
If you want to discover the vibrant color gradients of reactive glaze in addition to the Blase Collection, you will find what you are looking for in the Glaze Collection – a different approach, the same craftsmanship.
