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…
Tag: glaze
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…
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,…
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.
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…
West German Pottery Collection
A few years ago, my boyfriend and I took our first ever trip to Hebden Bridge together. It’s a lovely place and I highly recommend going there. Anyway, we visited a retro shop, which is sadly no longer around, that had shelves upon shelves filled with West German pottery. At the time, we had no…
