Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hering Berlin?
Hering Berlin is one of the most internationally respected names in fine dining tableware, founded in Berlin in 1992 by master ceramicist Stefanie Hering. The house is defined by a purist philosophy that treats every piece as an object of genuine artistic consequence.
What distinguishes Hering Berlin in the world of contemporary luxury porcelain?
Hering Berlin is distinguished by a purist philosophy that treats every piece as an object of genuine artistic consequence, having shaped the aesthetics of modern haute cuisine. Hering’s porcelain graces the tables of Thomas Keller at The French Laundry, Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck, and top chefs across more than fifty countries worldwide.
What is the signature technique that makes Hering Berlin unique?
The house’s defining achievement is its bisque porcelain finish, which is unglazed and hand-polished with a diamond sponge to achieve a velvety, peach-skin texture. This unique finish absorbs light in a way that accentuates form and contrasts dramatically against the pieces’ luminously glazed centers or interiors.
