Designed in 1972 by Oswald Kleudgen, the 'Amsterdam' relief decor, so named for its resemblance to stacks of tulip bulbs, is also commonly known as the 'Onion' decor, and is one of the most popular ever produced by Scheurich Keramik.  It was available in a number of sizes and colorways, as well as color combinations, including this orangy-red and brown version that highlights the pattern perfectly.

OSWALD KLEUDGEN was a classmate and close friend of Heinz Siery, the prolific form designer who would ultimately exert huge influence over the style of West German ceramics through his work at several of the best companies of that time.  Kleudgen was a top-notch painter and decorator who had collaborated with Siery at Fohr Keramik, and then later at Scheurich when they both went to work there in 1955.  Kleudgen would stay at Scheurich even when Heinz left in 1959 to go to work for Carstens.  He became the single most important designer of glazes and decors at Scheurich and worked for them until his retirement.

SCHEURICH had its origins in a joint venture launched in 1928 by Alois Scheurich and his cousin Fridolin Greulich in the small town of Schneeberg near the Czech border in Saxony—wholesaling glass, porcelain, and ceramics.  The business was moved to the market community of Kleinheubach in the northeast corner of Bavaria in 1938, and ten years later the partners began producing household ceramics of their own, selling them under the name Scheurich & Greulich.  In 1954 Alois founded SCHEURICH to continue the production on his own.

The celebrated designer Heinz Siery was recruited the following year.  He developed production techniques for SCHEURICH as well as designs.  The overarching manufacturing strategy was to produce a wide array of simple forms that could be decorated in a great variety of glazes.  This resulted in a range of pieces that was both extensive and economically adaptable.  The approach proved altogether successful; through the 1980s SCHEURICH produced more pottery than any other German manufacturer.  Much of it was for export.

The earliest SCHEURICH pieces sport discrete colors and simple geometric patterns.  In the late 1960s and the '70s, its glazes were characterized by brown-and-green color schemes, sometimes accented with more vibrant hues—however, some décors featured the bold lava and volcanic finishes that are so admired today.  Molded décors inspired by ancient cultures or patterns from nature were also represented.  By the late 1980s, shapes and color scales became plainer and the work less attractive.

Excellent Story
Format: Paperback
Charles Soule is without a doubt one of the greatest Star Wars authors around. With this comic he keeps the reader on their toes making it hard to set the book down. It is a definite page turner and easily one of the best comics Marvel has out out under the Star Wars name. An intriguing story, unforgettable moments, and packed with lore, Star Wars fans are sure to love The Rise of Kylo Ren.

Ben Solo’s fall is tragic
Format: Paperback
We don’t know much about Ben Solo’s past, but this comic explains a little bit more about why he is the way he is. It also explains that he didn’t do all the things he himself implies in TLJ. It’s a story of a young man who is lost because those he is supposed to trust betray him, which is exactly what Snoke/Palpatine want. It shows he didn’t really have a choice in the path he took and it makes his redemption at the end of the saga powerful, even if the last movie itself destroys the myth of Star Wars. I love knowing that Rey and Ben have always had a connection and I hope that is something explored more deeply in Episode X when they bring Ben back.

Answers a lot of questions
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this story. This fills in a lot of gaps left open from the sequel trilogy, and the artwork was pretty cool. Excellent coloring and layout.
