After successful and well-attended ceramics days, the heritage bazaar returns for its sixth edition, once again offering a unique sale of authentic Maastricht ceramics and glassware.
Bureau Europa presents: De Toonzaal
In the former showroom and director’s office of the Sphinx factories, this special location will come to life for three days. The Bureau Europa building opened in 1911 and served as the main showroom of Sphinx, Maastricht’s most renowned industry, located on the Boschstraat. The original showroom was filled with glass, crystal, and porcelain, all overseen by the statue of the factory's founder, Petrus Regout. Today, it is Bureau Europa’s main exhibition space, where exhibitions on architecture and design are presented.
During De Toonzaal, collectors and enthusiasts will showcase and sell a rich selection of ceramics and glass from factories such as Regout, Sphinx, Société Céramique, JeMa, MOSA, Astra, and Kristalunie. Even the tables and cabinets are for sale. De Toonzaal is organized in collaboration with the Aardewerk Erfgoed Maastricht Foundation and has been held annually since 2021.
Enjoy the film presentations by Servé Minis and explore Tracé’s documentation on ceramics. In addition, a special exhibition of glasswork will be on display, made possible in part by the Discovery Museum. During the ceramics market, photographs taken by photographer Henk Houben will be on display in the corner room.
