Albert Kiessling, a prominent ceramic artist from East Germany, made significant contributions to the world of pottery with his distinctive glazing techniques. Born and raised in Langenhessen, he embarked on his artistic journey after obtaining his master's designation in ceramics. In 1954, he took a pivotal step by establishing his own ceramic artist's studio, where he would go on to craft remarkable pieces that continue to captivate collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide.
What sets Albert Kiessling apart is his mastery of crystalline and shrink-glaze applications, often affectionately referred to as "snakeskin" glazes due to their mesmerizing, textured patterns resembling the skin of a snake. This exceptional glazing technique, known as "REDUKTIONSGLASUR" in German, involves a meticulous resist wax process. During this process, wax is strategically applied to the pottery before it is glazed and fired, resulting in stunning, intricate patterns that are highly sought after in the world of ceramics.
Collectors with an appreciation for fine art pottery treasure Albert Kiessling's creations. These unique pieces have not only found their way into private collections but have also earned a place of honour in esteemed museums. One such institution that proudly displays his work is the GRASSI Museum in Leipzig, where visitors can admire the craftsmanship and innovation that define Kiessling's artistry.
