Catalogue Note

Lindig designed the coffee pot as a versatile template which could be modified for different purposes each time creating a new object. Using a large and a smaller mould for the body, the spouts, handles and glazes were variable and thus could be transformed into 16 different objects from mokka pots to vases.
