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….

Penny’s Pretty, Potty Pots…
These are some new purchases by my parents: Watch out for the cat appearing… Tyler, the cat, was obviously getting a little bit jealous of the attention the pots were getting! I know that these are Scheurich and the form numbers; however, I know nothing about the glaze as I’ve never seen ones like…
Scheurich 553 – 38
I’m trying to do some catching up in terms of retro things that I’ve got to blog about; this is next on my ‘to-do’ list. I can’t quite remember the antiques shop this was bought from, but I seem to remember paying about £18 for it. At the time, it seemed like lots! Actually, I’m…
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…
Mid Century Collectables in Morecambe…
Within the next few posts, there should be a guest appearance from Aidan! He wants to do a post on the architecture of Morecambe; I’m trying to convince him to set up his own blog, so perhaps if he enjoys writing a guest one on mine, he might get his own going. In the meantime,…
Valentine’s Gift: Mini Scheurich
I really, really wanted to blog about this the other night but I couldn’t as I’d decided to keep it as a Valentine’s gift for Aidan. I had a feeling on me when I was on the train that I should go to Oxfam in Glossop. I honestly remember thinking to myself, “Hmmmm, haven’t looked…
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…
Barnsley Booty!
Now that I’m back at school, inevitably, the frequency of posts will go down. No matter: I’ll just store it all up for when I get the chance for a catchup. This is just a little one tonight, as I’m a bit tired and Glee is on very shortly… Last weekend, we went to Barnsley…
Disaster…
A night time excursion to the bathroom by my other half has resulted in the breakage of two of my favourite Scheurich 414 pots. The one in my blog header on the left and another mottled red/orange one. I can’t even bring myself to put a picture up of the damage. He’s promised to fix…
Stuart @ Bygone Times: Fat Lava Galore!
On Tuesday, we set off from Aidan’s dad’s house in Barnsley to make the not inconsiderable trip up to Bygone Times near Chorley. The reason for the visit was this: How amazing is that? And that’s not all of it… Not only was the stall itself absolutely amazing, but Stuart was lovely and imparted some…
Christmas (Retro) Gifts Continued…
Christmas Day was fantastic this year. Very quiet – just the two of us – consisting of present opening, Monopoly, a trip to the pub and X Files… We quickly realised that basically we could have either swapped presents or just kept the ones we gave each other; we would both have been happy with…
