Finally! I have a name for an item I inherited. I remember as a child in the 1960s a large floor vase being bought. Its always been a part of my life but neverknew a thing about it. Now I know. Thankyou if you are still listening.
Still here and have more pottery videos coming. However, they will be on the Gin-For's 'Tique Talking channel... @tiquetalking ... when they come. Have you been able to identify the maker of your vase? If not, you can send pics to fdposton@gmail.com.
Yes thanks to you I have been able to identify it from the base numbers. Scheuric 553-52 W.Germany. I wasn't aware of the glaze type until watching your great videos. I'd now say it was a volcanic glaze, with a running colour under glaze rather than a drip. I'll send a photo or two to your email so it can be appreciated. It has been around me my entire life and I prize it highly.
Thank you for this video. I am from Australia and I just brought my first West German varse. It's not an expensive piece but I love knowing about it. I have been able to now identify it as late 1980's from the company Scheurich. - Kristy
+Gone Mental Glad you enjoyed it. I think most of the information in this particular video is still accurate, but keep in mind that it's a changing field as more things are learned, and attributions keep changing. For example, many items attributed to Jopeko for over 15 years just got switched to Stein, a company most collectors haven't even heard of.
Thanks for the erudite discussion of the topic by distinguishing the types of glazes by texture. I wonder what the German terms were originally for the glazes and if they used igneous types as you have done?
Do you know any good books on creating textured glazes? I'm very interested in them. And thank you for clearing this up. I see the mix up in glaze types all the time while searching for new pieces to own.

One of the best videos I have ever seen. I am very happy to be "Alice" because I am eager to go on the journey!
Very informamative - thank you!
Imagine being an intern for one of those fat lava studios ... get awfully tired of grinding down kiln shelves.
I started collecting these in the early 90s.
Never paid more than a few dollars.
Probably have a thousand.
You're lucky that you started at the right time.

Reverse the focus...put it on the pottery, move the camera.
