Where in Berlin to buy ceramics directly from the artist?
Recommendations for stores would be wonderful!
Check the Keramikmarkt at the Markthalle Neun every couple of months, they usually have a bunch of local potters set up with their full range. It's a good way to see the work in person and talk to them directly instead of hunting down individual studio hours. If you want something more permanent, Keramik Atelier on Torstrasse in Mitte is the artist's own shopfront with quite a bit of inventory, though the colours lean more earthy than bold.
there's a small collective called keramik am maybachufer near the landwehrkanal in neukolln, they have a shared workshop and sell their own stuff directly from the studio on certain weekends, usually posted on their website. for fun colours specifically, i'd look up leila khoury who does bright geometric patterns and sometimes has open studio days in wedding, her mugs are a bit pricier but the glaze work is solid. if u want a proper shopfront that's the actual artist, studio mara in friedrichshain off boxhagener platz has a small shelf of her own wheel-thrown pieces alongside a few other locals, more casual vibes and she's usually there on saturdays
Neukolln has a few studio sales if you walk around Weserstrasse and the side streets off it. I've picked up good mugs from Hannah Rowan Ceramics on a weekend when she's open her workshop, she does bold glazes. Check her Instagram for open days since it's not a regular shop schedule.
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
