Every piece one of a kind
Handmade in Austria
Every RIESS premium enamel product is crafted in up to 40 individual steps, each bearing the characteristic marks of genuine craftsmanship.
Since 1922, we have been dedicated to producing high-quality enamel products in the Mostviertel region of Lower Austria. Our product range includes cookware, bakeware, tableware, storage containers, signs and much more. Each piece is carefully handcrafted and is an original, unmistakably marked with our 'RIESS Premium Enamel' quality seal.
The fact that our products are handcrafted is revealed in several typical characteristics found in enamelware. These features give each RIESS original its unmistakable charm.
A union of design & craftmanship
Cookware made to last for generations
Good design is sustainable. We want our products to be used for years — even decades — to come. That’s why we source high-quality raw materials, rely on proven design processes and meet strict quality standards for our products. With our timeless design and functionality we offer a deliberate alternative to the throwaway mentality.
„Many of our designs have been part of our range for decades.“DIPL. ING. Julian Riess
In today's time when traditional forms and contemporary design increasingly merge, our products can be used in a wide variety of settings and meet diverse everyday needs. Whether a pan, storage container, or mug – RIESS products bring a fresh view to the things we use day after day. We create items with enduring forms and multiple purposes, designed to be cherished and cared for across generations. RIESS premium enamel products are made for a lifestyle that values longevity and the mindful use of everyday objects.
Wide variety and vibrant colours
The RIESS world of colours and shapes is extensive – 900 designs for cooking, frying, baking, serving, and storing. Enamel is UV-resistant and acid-proof and with proper care, its shine and vibrant lustre will last for generations.
Celebrating porcelain enamel tradition since 1922
1920-1960
The classic RIESS designs are created in white, pastel and black. They remain timeless and iconic pieces, loved around the world — above all, the classic milk pot.
1975
The Austrian design icon Carl Auböck III designed, among other pieces, the legendary striped 'Kugeltopf' for RIESS.
2005

2006
The Austrian design duo POLKA, Monica Singer and Marie Rahm, created the limited edition “Polkapots” for Vienna Design Week. The idea of the cooking pot is transformed, modified and reinterpreted.
Since 2011
We work closely with the design studio dottings (Katrin Radanitsch and Sofia Podreka), which specialises in product development and sustainable packaging design. Together, we have created the Aromapots series including its packaging, the Kitchenmanagement storage containers, the two-tone Edition Sarah Wiener bakeware and the SERVE + STORE storage containers.
2013
As part of Vienna Design Week, the British designer Oscar Wanless experimented with positive and negative moulds on a metal-pressing machine. The result was a series of objects and vessels with almost textile-like qualities — ruffles and frills made of metal.
