The Westerwald region: the essence of authenticity

Known for its rich history of pottery making, Westerwald clay is known for its density, durability and water retention properties. Its distinctive blue-gray hue and resistance to cracking during firing make it ideal for producing high-quality beer mugs that help keep drinks cool for long periods of time.
