What can I say? I like them, alright? With these new additions, it takes me up to 33 different glazes. The brown one on the right was my first ever internet freebie! Sent by an extremely kind buyer on Ebay – Aidan’s done them a swap for a different Scheurich they’re after. The red and…

Glazes Galore… It’s the Scheurich 414
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…
Bits and Bobs from Bygone Times
I’ve mentioned it before, but if you’ve never been you really should make a trip up to Bygone Times near Chorley. Not only does it have one of the biggest collections of West German Pottery I’ve ever seen in one place, but the rest of it is also worth a really good look round. There’s…
The Ebay Blitz on West German Pottery!
Aidan has uploaded a massive amount of pots onto his Ebay account. If you’ve not done so already, go and check out some of the gorgeous pots he has for sale. Look for them here… There are more, including some lovely Roth and Scheurich pieces. But can I find the pictures for them within Aidan’s…
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
People, Animals and Pottery
I have discovered the names of two new phobias today: Polyphobia and Tapinophobia. Polyphobia is the fear of many things and Tapinophobia is the fear of small objects. Imagine anyone with either of those coming into my house! Isn’t there something somewhere that says that humans are obsessed with themselves (unless they’ve got autophobia –…
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…
Sunday Car Boot Sale in Glossop
Yesterday’s glorious sunshine saw the start of the car boot season for us properly. We made it to both the Oldham Rugby Club and Ashton Town Centre car boot sales. There weren’t massive amounts of retro and vintage goodies to be found, but we did (well, I did!) come away with a few things: They…
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…
From Spritzdekor to Madbrit: The Many Personas of Kevin Graham
“I have collected things before: fast cars, fast motorcycles and even faster women…” Kevin Graham certainly lives up to his nickname of Madbrit. I knew before I began that interviewing him was going to be an interesting experience. Certainly, I hoped that I would be able to get at least as much sense as I…
