As seems to be the case, the West German pottery that we decide to keep often gets blogged about last. Because some of the stuff we sell shifts so quickly, I often write about it before it’s disappeared from my memory. Unfortunately (for my little blog), Aidan’s managed to shift so many of the pots…

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…
No Fat Lava Here…
Sometimes West German Pottery doesn’t have to be a multi-coloured froth of glaze: ocherous with burnt orange, violaceous with amaranthine or rubescent with flame reds. Sometimes it can be sleek. Refined. Restrained in it’s perfect, poised design. Scheurich
Daily Pottery Pic: Scheurich
I’m planning to do some Easter/Royal Wedding specials today and the rest of this week. However, as there is also a GIANT West German Pottery collection just itching to be posted up, I’ll put up a few pictures each day of the latest finds. I love this Scheurich glaze. It may not be ‘Fat Lava’ or even…
West German Pottery Is Taking Over!
Retro junk Plenty of pots…
West German Pottery: Reds and Blues
In approximately three hours’ time, we will be setting off on, what I think is, our fifth trip to Germany. Yep, just done a quick count-up in my head, and it’s our fifth roadtrip over there! As always, Aidan heads up the planning of the trip and my job is to sort out food for…
West German Pottery White Collection
We’ve had the brown collection. Now here’s the white collection: Many Scheurich pieces, a little Steuler (our first Cari Zalloni piece) and a cheeky little Wade who’s crept in somehow…
Jopeko Jewels
These don’t really fit into the Big Pot, Little Pot idea that I’ve been exploring recently, but they are pretty gorgeous examples of Jopeko. Sometimes, Jopeko can seem a little dull, but these are anything but. All three of these were found on German Road trips. Speaking of which, our next one is just under…
Big Pot, Little Pot: Carstens
I’m loving a bit of ‘Big Pot, Little Pot’ at the moment, having realise just how many different BPLPs we have in the collection. From yesterday’s 50’s Scheurich, to 60’s Space Age Carsten: The glaze on these is gorgeous. Just look at it: Love ’em. It may be the wine, it may be the fact…
Space Age Pottery: This One’s A U.F.O.
Unidentified Funny Object? My post earlier this evening depressed me, to be honest! So I’ve had to do one quickly to take my mind off it. I could have just deleted it but I couldn’t bring myself to do it… This pot was bought on the last trip and it is a complete mystery to…
Balloon Vases: No Clowns Allowed
Yet another collection has been started as a result of the tripping to and fro from Deutschland: The Balloon Vases. The latest one is this: I wouldn’t recommend trying to tie these together on a piece of string, or popping them. However, you can try to make some good-looking displays: I did say try to…
Julian and Lisa Visit the ‘West German Hotline’
This is what Goff at Wowie Zowie christened us last week, leaving a message for the ‘West German Hotline’. It did make me laugh! Anyway, Julian and Lisa visited last night along with their son, Christopher (a WGP expert in the making!) to look at the fruits of the latest German Road trip. We chased my…
