An artisanal and family workshop, the Fortuné Schmitter pottery has been producing genuine Alsatian salt stoneware for 7 generations in the village of Betschdorf.
A family-run business since 1844, producing genuine Alsatian salt-glazed stoneware. This pottery, both functional and decorative, is entirely made in this workshop and has recently been awarded the "Alsatian Pottery" Geographical Indication. The firing process, characteristic of Betschdorf's production, gives the pottery its authentic character. It is here that the full extent of their expertise is expressed. The salt vitrification makes the pieces watertight and resistant to deterioration.
