A Humdrum Sunday…
I’ve spent the entire weekend working, pretty much. I need to get on with something now, but I’m feeling entirely unmotivated. Or demotivated. One or the other. This morning, I’ve done everything I can to avoid working: I even went for a run! In honour of my humdrum Sunday, I thought I’d share pictures of…
Present Parade: Scheurich 414
A couple of weeks ago, I bought another massive stack of vintage magazines from the same man I bought them from last summer. When we got gome, I excitedly grabbed a magazine off the top of the pile and flicked through. Imagine my amazement when the page above appeared! Proof that in 1967, West German…
Scheurich Lora ‘Flame’ Glaze
The next trip to Germany is booked! We’re going during February half term and I can’t wait already. This time we’re going to expand our search area a bit further East; venture out of the Ruhr and Rhine areas! This Scheurich beast was bought on the last trip and I think it spent some time…
Scheurich Balloon Vases
It has been a very strange start to the term to say the least… flooded classroom, mouse about the house… oh well, let’s forget it all by looking at pictures of pots. Lots and lots of pots. Looks like they all need a dust, eh?
New Year: New 414…
Well, another reason for a present has passed (i.e. Christmas) and guess what I’ve had more of…? My favourite is the red and black one, but naturally I love them all. You should see the entire collection now: I think we’re up to twenty four different glazes now… Which is your favourite one? Related Articles Scheurich…
Meet Clara Belle: West German Woman
This is Clara Belle. Isn’t she a stunner? My parents gave this to us as an early Christmas present and we love her! She’s taken pride of place on the sideboard, next to the giant Carstens lamp. Believe it or not, she is actually marked as 701 W.Germany. Neither of us have ever seen anything…
Scheurich 414: Updating a Look
Regular readers will be aware of my obsession with the Scheurich 414 form. I currently have over twenty of them in different glazes perched atop a wooden blanket box in the bedroom. Some of you may not not know that many of the factories reused numbers and updated forms. Scheurich 414 is one of these…
Spotted: West German Pottery on the BBC!
Excuse the appalling photo – I took it with my phone: I spotted it last night while I was watching ‘Miranda’ on BBC2. Needless to say, I got a little bit excited… The programme was pretty good too! Looks like a Scheurich, a Dumler and Breiden and perhaps a Carstens? What’s been your most unlikely…
Hoy Töpferei…
I put the ellipsis in the title because there’s a sad tale to these two pots: After the very first German Road Trip, they were rejected not only by us, but by Wowie Zowie. We all thought they were lumpy, badly thrown pieces of purple-painted clay. It turns out (while they still might be all of…
Otto Keramik
At some point this weekend, we’re going to decide which of the mammoth haul of pots we’re going to keep. This is going to be difficult: we like different ones and there are just so many to choose from; you can always see something of merit in each pot. We’re both decided on keeping these two…
From Germany to Glossop…
..Deutschland to Derbyshire. We’re back. The house is full. Aidan has just pointed out that I don’t really have time for a blog but I just can’t resist: the sheer scale of what we have returned with from this trip is phenomenal. Observe: Note the glass head back right; at the moment, we think…
