Meerfliese - Tile Manufacturer

Handcrafted “Meerfliese” tiles from Alt Farpen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

The Meerfliese Tile Manufactory in Alt Farpen is a special place for anyone who appreciates artisanal craftsmanship on the Baltic Sea coast. Behind the name are the two artists Juliane Umbreit and Janna Skroblin, who together create maritime tiles of exceptional quality. Their work combines traditional pottery craftsmanship with a modern, sea-inspired visual language.

Maritime tiles featuring unusual colors and techniques

At the heart of Umbreit and Skroblin’s creative work is experimentation with engobes, oxides, and glazes. These techniques produce unique color effects that make each tile one-of-a-kind. The motifs and color tones reflect the coastal landscape of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania—from the vast Baltic Sea to the distinctive atmospheres of the region around Fischland-Darß-Zingst and Stralsund.

Visitors to the ceramics workshop can experience artisanal craftsmanship up close and see the two artists at work right on site.
