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!

New Carstens Ankara Pottery
This is take two for this post. The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that I tried to write about my gorgeous Carstens Ankara earlier in the week. Unfortunately, the WordPress gremlins were out to play so it all messed up. Fingers crossed for this time round! These are all new ones bought on the last…
West German Pottery Is Taking Over!
Retro junk Plenty of pots…
Who’s the Daddy (pot)?
I did say a couple of posts back that we’d found another large Scheurich orange and brown bulbous vase, the same as one we got very excited about on our first ever trip; yet this time we were a bit ‘so what?’ about it. Oh, was I a little bit too hasty in my judgement:…
Help! Pottery has taken over my house!
In all their glory! Well, not quite all of them. Some bits and bobs were hiding behind me: The two square ceramic wall hangings (four in each set, sun designs, red and blue – to make it clear which ones I mean!) were found within an hour of each other and *cough, cough* both by…
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…

Unfortunately, it has decided to bucket it down with rain today. We had planned to do a car boot sale this morning; car was packed and ready to go. However, waking up to rain at 6am put paid to that idea and the usual Sunday morning lounging was resumed! I do have some bits and…
West German Wordle
I’ve been on a conference this weekend for Recently Qualified Teachers (i.e., if you’re in your second year of teaching). It has reinspired me! I’ve had a happy – and possibly sad – half hour searching for ICT tools on the web. This is the result of playing around with an old favourite: This is…
Bay Keramik 316-10 Chimney Vase
After nearly three weeks of waiting, Aidan’s first purchase from German Ebay is here: I think it’s safe to say that this one is stunning. Aidan won this for 9 Euros. It’s in perfect condition with its original label on the front. According to the Mark Hill book, the label is a 1970s-80s one. However,…
A Tale of Two Donkeys…
It’s probably a little early in the year for a story about a little donkey, but I have to introduce the two new additions to the Italian donkey family. The tale (tail) of my donkeys begins a few months ago. I found a very strange, retro looking ceramic donkey at a car boot sale in…
