Toepferart GmbH
Swiss company handcrafting unique ceramic plate graters, shaped, ground and triple-glazed and hand-painted, with a finger-friendly safety-focused design.
Toepferart GmbH is a Swiss maker of handmade ceramic graters, based in Eastern Switzerland. Founded by Joy and Carla, a market-vendor couple, the company shapes, grinds and hand-paints each piece by hand, so every plate grater is a unique item (Unikat). Its work sits at the intersection of craft production, product design and safety engineering.
The company's core product, the Keramikreiben / Tellerreibe, is a ceramic plate grater finished with triple glazing (dreifache Glasierung) for durability and made dishwasher-safe. Its surface is designed to be finger-friendly, removing the injury risk associated with conventional graters. Over 157,000 units have been sold, and the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Relevant technical domains include ceramic craftsmanship, pottery and hand-forming, triple glazing, hand painting, and kitchen product design and safety engineering. The business combines Swiss craftsmanship (Schweizer Handwerkskunst) with practical functionality, and operates across Switzerland, including retail and market vending in the Ostschweiz.
