You know how I feel about animals and kitsch paraphenalia… They haven’t all been named yet. The creepy plastic bird thing is called ‘Pecker Pecker’. I spent a good proportion of the German road trip with that in my hand pretending to peck Aidan with it. He’s extremely patient… The two biggest dudes with fluffy…

The Hour
Although I’ve only watched the first three series so far, I’m a massive ‘Mad Men‘ fan. So I was fairly excited when the BBC announced plans for ‘The Hour’. As a rubbish TV watched, I’m having to catch up via the iPlayer; I’ve only got the last episode to go. I don’t love it: I’ll…
Pop Pots
With the promise of some chocolate brownies, I managed to get Aidan to take some pictures for me of our poppiest pottery: There’s a mixture of Steuler, Jopeko, Carstens and Fohr here, but somehow they seem to work together. Many of these were found on the latest trip: the giant Steuler is one of our…
The Saturday Sale!
Last week was spent frantically sorting out and preparing for the Saturday Sale in Glossop of West German Pottery. Saturday morning dawned and everything was ready: Wowie Zowie owners Jenny and Goff were first in at the crack of dawn… well, not quite. But they were first in as the shop needed to be opened. A…
West German Pottery Floor Vases
Some of the most amazing pieces of pottery we have are the floor vases. Unfortunately, we just can’t keep them all as some of them are over 50cms. I’m getting quite excited about tomorrow now. So much so that I’m finding it difficult to concentrate on my work today. I’m ‘supposed’ to be writing an…
The Red, White and Blue Pottery for sale…
Not deliberately patriotic, but still a pretty impressive collection all the same. All of these pots are for sale on Saturday. Even if you can’t make it, enjoy the pottery porn!
More West German Pottery for Sale
So, as you probably know by now, on Saturday 27th August, we are holding our first ever open house sale on the West German Pottery. We’ve not added up how many pots we’ve got, but it’s a lot. A hell of a lot. Last night, we spent a long, long time sorting through everything, identifying…
Instant Scheurich Collection: For Sale!
The monumental task of photographing and pricing up all of the pots has begun. Here we have ten different versions of the iconic Scheurich 271 vase, designed by Heinz Siery. These are all priced between £10 and £15. We’re currently up to photographing the red, white and ’50s pottery – so keep checking back as…
West German Pottery Sale
On the spur of the moment (i.e., we realised just how much stuff we’d brought back from Germany this time and panicked!), we’ve decided to have a West German Pottery sale at our house this Saturday, 27th August. We’ll be throwing open the doors to our tiny terrace from 10 til 5. We live in…
More Retro-ness from Germany
Well, we are now back safe and sound in our little house in Glossop after a stonkingly good trip around Deutschland. It really is becoming a home away from home. In the last few days of our trip, we stayed near to Bremen, scouting out the retro and vintage goods around there and up to…
Guten Abend von Deutschland!
Apologies for misspellings, grammatical or semantic errors in the title! Aidan and I are currently in our home away from home a.k.a the Formule 1 hotel. Tonight we’re in Bremen, but so far we’ve stayed in Formule 1s in Bochum, Etaps near Hamburg and Lubeck and the Best Western in Bremen earlier in the week….
West German Pottery – The Latest Favourites
By the time you read this, we will be in Deutschland, hopefully on our way to collecting a car full of retro goodies! Whilst you (eagerly?) await our return, feast your eyes on some of my favourites from the last trip: Fingers crossed we come back with some equally as amazing stuff. ..
