Work is progressing on recording the pottery in the collection of the Thun Castle Foundation. As of now, three quarters of the collection has been inventoried. At the moment, CERAMICA CH contains 2427 records of mainly Bernese pottery with a particular emphasis on Thun majolica. A further approximately 600 pieces of Thun majolica pieces will be recorded in 2025.

On 1st August, Christian Hörack, who is now in charge of running the CERAMICA CH project, began to compile the inventory for the Regional Museum of Langenthal. Once this has been completed, the image database of CERAMICA CH will provide a comprehensive overview of Langenthal porcelain based on the collection amassed by the late Hans Rochat from Lucerne.

At the same time, work on the pottery collection at the Conrad Ferdinand Meyer House in Kilchberg-Schooren will be completed in 2024 and the records uploaded to CERAMICA CH. This part of the project is being overseen by Maximilian Scherrer in collaboration with Franziska Mathis and Elisabeth Lott.
