About Herta Gerz:

Herta Gerz (1913-2005) was born in Germany. In 1952, Herta and her husband, Walter came to Vancouver. In 1955, they established a pottery which produced a wide range of colourful ceramics until 1967. They worked largely under the name of B.C. Ceramics where they had another partner. The pottery was in the Yaletown section of Vancouver.

Herta and Walter had a division of labour. Walter was a ceramic engineer and he looked after the technical areas - glazes, equipment.

Herta was a potter and she trained their staff and created the designs. Their work was sold by Eaton’s, Birks.
