An enterprise like ours, which comes into contact with such a variety of cultural worlds, could not exist based purely on the knowledge and skills of a single individual. The undersigned owe a huge debt of gratitude to the late Peter Ducret and the late Rudolf Schnyder for their excellent advice and invaluable expertise which they so willingly shared with us. As leading experts in the history of ceramic art, they also contributed to the development and design of the concept for the CERAMICA CH project in their role as members of the board of the CERAMICA Foundation. We would also like to remind our readers that the actual idea behind the project came from within the board of the foundation itself and that it would not have been possible to implement it without its generous support. We would like to pay tribute to Dr. Thomas Staehelin as a notable president of an institution which has been characterised by the promotion of the history of Swiss pottery production in an exemplary manner, both here and abroad, for several decades.<\/p>\n
Our heartfelt thanks also go to the representatives of the numerous institutions and their members of staff, who gave us access to their collections. They all welcomed us with open arms and extraordinary generosity.<\/p>\n
