Description

The Buttersppon is part of a new product series "Höfer Goods" which is rooted in narratives, materials and skills that are particular to the village.

For 2006 the chosen subject was "frog", to make the link between the village and product obvious. The villagers are called "the frogs", related to a frog pond next to village. The pond doesn't exist anymore, but the nickname remains. The first series of Höfer Goods will relate to frogs and frog stories, both literally and more abstract. We chose porcelain as the material for the first products because of its high production value and a regional link to porcelain manufacturing.
