..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…

Scheurich 249 30
This was one of our favourite finds from the last German Road Trip. It was in one of the few vintage shops we found over there – very similar to Pop Boutique but an odd mixture of really cool stuff that was quite inexpensive, but then rubbish, really REALLY expensive things. Bizarre. Anyway, this was…
Cuboid Carstens
Some more keepers from the Germany Road Trip: These are made by Carstens; the larger one is marked M16/12 and the smaller white one is M14/10. The glaze is known as ‘Aztec’. These might be two of my favourites – at least for the moment, anyway! I’m still trying to work on my better photos, but…
Autumnal West German Pottery
[Left to right: Possible Carstens, Scheurich, Scheurich] There is definitely a change in the air: the nights are drawing in and our garden is becoming covered with leaves of various red, brown and orange shades. If I was any kind of interior decorator, I might start changing my house to reflect the autumn season. But hold on,…
Wowie Indeed….
The lovely couple at Wowie Zowie have been round again and bought a few bits and bobs. I didn’t manage to get the orange and purple D&B onto the site previously; it’s now residing in Chorlton. So, good people of Chorltonia, keep your eyes peeled for the pot to appear in the shop. It’s a…
Üeberlacker Twin Pots
That title makes it sound like yoghurts. It’s not yoghurts, I promise! Üeberlacker Keramik make some luvverly pots (I’m getting my Masterchef style voice ready for tonight’s show…); bright, unusual and original… Yep, I like them. These are a pair we decided to keep from the original German Road Trip. For once, I’ve attempted…
Scheurich 414: Orange Swirls
My new favourite Scheurich 414… it came from Germany 2: the Remix trip. I genuinely can’t remember the cost of it now; it wasn’t a lot. It’s now sitting pretty with the other 414s in the bedroom.
Silberdistel: West German Ceramics
During the last blog I wrote, I suddenly became very self-conscious about the fact that I was writing. I’d looked at my stats and found that over 1200 views had been counted last month and I suddenly thought, “Blimey, it’s not just me, Aidan and our parents that read this anymore!” I’m not sure why…
Bay Keramik: Some New, Some Old
It’s safe to say that the German Road Trip: Part Two was a massive success! We’ve arrived home with over 140 pieces of pottery, several retro lamp shades, a few 80s metal clocks, plant pots, some pieces of glass and two version of J.H. Lynch’s ‘Tina’ print. Phew! Once again, Tina (the KA) did not…
Scheurich Pot and Planter
More attempts to take slightly better photos of pots: This is what I think of as being as ‘Aidan’ style photo – put it on a jaunty angle and see what happens! Love the glazes on these. They’re extremely bright and look fantastic with our other red and orange pots in the bedroom. We’re off…
Glossop’s Loss is Chorlton’s Gain…
The lovely couple at Wowie Zowie in Chorlton came round last evening to have a look at the pots, and ended up buying about half of them. So we have a little bit more room in the living room and the people of Chorlton can now get stuck into decorating their houses 70s style with…
Lovely Lava, Gorgeous Glazes, Perfect Pots…
Here are some of the photos from the collection we brought back. We’ve taken out ones that we want to keep, now we just have to find out how to sell the others. Probably not going to be an easy task! Some we’re keeping: Those are some of my favourites; there’s plenty more to…
