Töpferei Maurer

Frankfurt am Main


At this traditional Sachsenhausen ceramics manufacturer, you can buy an authentic Bembel made either here on the premises or at Töpferei Maurer's larger factory nearby. The iconic blue-painted, grey-coloured jugs range from thimble-sized to barrel-like (mounted on cast-iron stands to facilitate pouring the apple wine).
