I’m very pleased with my latest Scheurich 414. So much so, that I wanted to take some pictures showing off all 28 versions of the pot I now have: In the grand scheme of things, it’s not really that many. Scheurich were one of the most prolific of the West German Pottery manufacturers, creating hundreds…

Funny Friday: Otto and Sgrafo
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…
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…
Some Scheurich Stunners
No words necessary (apart from these); just pretty pictures of perfectly proportioned pottery. Aidan tells me that one’s a high form number for Scheurich, so there’s potential for it to be a later-made form. That particular pot was amazing on the journey from Germany – it was like the ceramic equivalent of Mary Poppins’ carpet…
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?
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…
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…
Aidan’s Birthday Presents
Confession time: Aidan’s birthday was in February… Admittedly, he was given these a couple of weeks after the event, but still that is fairly slack of me to only just be posting them up now. As they were his presents, Aidan has taken the pictures himself: The Scheurich one is my favourite of the two….
New Scheurich 414
I’ve been exceedingly slack on the blogging front recently. Usual excuse: work. I’m not going to comment any further as it occupies too much of my mind as it is. On a more interesting front, I recently received this: Shocking picture: I do apologise!! Another Ebay purchase; I was a little disappointed when it arrived…
Who Says Brown is Boring? Ask Scheurich…
Ok, as individual pots – these are probably not the best. But as a group… Clockwise from bottom left: Scheurich, unknown form (can’t read the bottom!); 549-21; 517-45; 549-21; and last but never least… 414-16. I don’t know what the glaze is called. Had a quick P&G forum trawl, but nothing so far. Will update when…
Scheurich Galore! (Well, nearly…)
We have recently discovered the wonders of purchasing West German pots from their country of origin. Via the medium of Ebay and some badly advertised listings, we received these in the post today: For the life of me, I couldn’t get the pictures right of the label. However, to describe it: it’s a pale gold…
Retro Goodies through the post!
Ooooh, how I love to receive a good parcel, or two, or three! Actually, I only received one parcel this week, but my other half received two. One was a Wade Skip the Dog and the other was this lovely Carstens vase: Underneath, it reads W.-Germ. E.4-25. I’ve never actually seen that notation before: the…
