The Studio Pieter Stockmans was founded in 1987 and
is an internationally renowned reference in the field of
designs in hard porcelain. Piet(er) Stockmans passed on
his expertise and the love of porcelain to his daughter
Widukind Stockmans who has taken over management
of the studio since 2007.
Porcelain is regarded as the most prestigious type of
pottery for its demanding manufacturing process, its
delicacy, strength, and white colour. The material has
a reputation for being hard to work with, that it cannot
be moulded, on the contrary, that it moulds those who
try to work it. The colour and density of porcelain is
explained by the firing process. The material is fired at
1400 degrees Celsius, which yields a snowy white and
extremely hard product.
