The pots, or rather the objects 'stacking vessels' by Pia Wüstenberg unite the material ceramics, glass and wood and turn them into a working sculpture. The three parts of each item can be used individually. The generous bottle shape is put together from a ceramics bowl glazed on the inside, a glass bowl fitted above the top of it and an exact fitting turned vase shape, the edge of which consists of tree bark. All parts of it are made and fitted by professional craftspeople. Archaic and modernity unite here in an exciting object.

Pia Wüstenberg shows us with her contrast between materials, surfaces, textures, symbols and colour new surprising object-stories – they don't just tell us about the creation, but also about the craft, about different possibilities of use, about creative culture.
