Gramann Töpferei Römhild Pitcher Form with Purple Volcanic Glaze
Gin-For's Odditiques West and East German Pottery For Sale
(Cats and batteries not included.)
This mid century modern East German pottery pitcher was made by Gramann around 1965. It features their classic marble-like volcanic glaze in a mauve shade with darker areas at the top and bottom. The pitcher is hand made and features the incised T over R mark for Töperhof Römhild. (The pottery was located in Römhild.) Gramann doesn't get enough credit as yet, but they were doing volcanic glazes before any of the larger,commercial potteries. They tend to be more subtle than most with small to tiny craters and smooth sides. Most Gramann, including this pitcher were also hand thrown, while most of the commercial potteries used molds to increase production numbers. Date on this one would likely be early to mid 1960s.

Buying, Paying, and Such Things
You may notice that we don't have a checkout where you can just click for your goodies without so much as saying hello. Well, we want people to say hello, ask questions, even hope for a better deal. Long ago, I told stories for 7 hours (free refills on coffee), so "impersonal" just isn't my style. Click on one of those "E-mail" buttons. I can't handle as much coffee as I used to, so the stories will be fewer.
These days, Paypal is about the easiest payment method around, but we still take checks, even cash. No Monopoly money, nothing printed up in your basement, no chickens, etc., but otherwise we're fairly flexible. If we can put it in the bank without anyone getting in a tizzy, we'll probably take it.
Please take time to stroll through the site. Sorry we can't offer you a cup of coffee or tea while you're looking, but maybe you can take care of that yourself. Just don't spill it on the keyboard. And if you run into any questions along the way, there should be an e-mail link on every page, so just click and ask.
Hope you'll enjoy our "sing the body eclectic" approach (with apologies to Walt Whitman). As always, proceeds go to support our creditors, my spouse, our cats, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.
