| Gmunden as a centre for ceramic artists: As long ago as the 17th century, Gmunden was considered to be the stronghold of old Austrian fine and decorative ceramics. The natural beauty of this area around the Traunsee lake inspired the ceramic artists to produce very special shapes and colours. The popular "Grüngeflammt" design existed even then! Each piece of the Gmundner Keramik Manufaktur is lovingly produced by hand and finished with care, as it was 300 years ago. Therefore, each piece of Gmundner Keramik is a unique example of the highest standard of ceramic art which is demanded nowadays. |
