Stove tile at the Steingasse in Salzburg, Austria

This ceramic tile in the Steingasse is reminiscent of the ceramicist Luise Spannring (1894-1982). In Salzburg, she became known as the founder of a ceramic school. Her works are exhibited in numerous museums. In the Salzburg Museum, you see ceramic nativity scenes from her. [German]

In addition, the ceramic tile is reminiscent of the stove setter trade (Hafner). The Hafner had branches in the Steingasse next to the linen weavers and white tanners. For a long time, an elevation in the Steingasse was called Hafnerbühel.
