A tall 1970s red & orange Bernina décor vase Nr. 265/30 for SCHEURICH KERAMIK.

SCHEURICH KERAMIK had its origins in a joint venture launched in 1928 by Alois Scheurich (d. 1968) 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 to produce household ceramics of their own, selling them under the name Scheurich & Greulich. The partnership was dissolved in 1954, and Alois founded Scheurich GmbH & Co. KG to continue production on his own. The new company employed Germany's first electrical tunnel kiln.

The celebrated designer Heinz Siery was recruited as SCHEURICH’s lead modeler the following year in 1955. In addition to creating his own extensive range of shapes, Siery helped the firm develop its overarching product strategy. SCHEURICH would manufacture an assortment of simple forms that could be made cheaply and then decorated in a great variety of glazes. The natural result was an enormous range of merchandise that was both diverse and easily adaptable. The approach proved altogether successful.

Low prices combined with a dizzying array of attractive designs translated into millions in sales for SCHEURICH, and the company remained one of the largest manufacturers of ceramics in Germany through the 1980s. To keep pace with the public's everchanging tastes, décors were adapted twice a year. Some of the better-known décors include the hand-painted Montignac (1972–1973); Amsterdam (1974–1975), with its onion motif (Zwiebeldekor); Fabiola, with its flowing, brown-red top glaze; and Jura, with its fossil, or snail, motif.

Among the more famous components of the décors used to finish mid-century ceramics are the unusually thick, often flowing glazes nicknamed "fat lava." (Strictly speaking, "fat" is something of a misnomer, generally thought to be a careless translation of the German word groß—meaning "large," or "thick"—referring here to the depth of the glaze, how much it rises above the surface of the clay, not its viscosity.) The term has proven slippery. Some conflate it with volcanic glazing generally, where the use of certain ingredients cause controlled, gaseous explosions, producing holes in the glazes that are visually suggestive of lava (or the surface of the moon); some apply it wholesale to all German pottery from the mid century! Regardless, fat lava glazes were very popular in the '60s and '70s, and SCHEURICH produced many stunning examples.

SCHEURICH KERAMIK used white clay exclusively. Objects were always formed by mold and were fired at 1000 degrees Celsius. A minimum of 500 pieces were made of every item that was produced. Identifying marks were embossed on the base. Model numbers are three digits long and followed by the height of the object in whole centimeters (the single exception being form Nr. 405 which is measured at 13.5 cm), usually with a dash separating the two components. Most SCHEURICH items have no embossed company mark. If noted, country of origin appears as either W. GERMANY or WEST GERMANY (occasionally abbreviated to GERM). Many SCHEURICH items retain their original foil or paper labels.

SCHEURICH KERAMIK exported more ceramics than any other German company. Some lines were specifically manufactured for foreign markets. Indeed, the historical distributions of particular forms and glazes suggest that some were produced for specific countries. The bottoms of exported vases are often embossed with the word "FOREIGN" rather than "WEST GERMANY." Not surprisingly, some vases so marked wound up on the home market.

In addition to vases, SCHEURICH's mid-century output included flower pots, ashtrays, piggy banks, candle holders, beer mugs, buffet clocks, and wall plaques. By the late 1980s, the shapes and colors of its vases had become rather pedestrian; this work is not attractive to collectors. As a subsidiary of Sheurich-Group GmbH, the European market leader for indoor and outdoor planters, SCHEURICH KERAMIK is still in operation today.

Good Plug
Purchased this from Amazon for convenience and it arrived quickly so I was satisfied. If I order the oil and filter for mower at the same time it saves me time and I have them delivered to my door for the mower tune up.

TireJECT cannot work miracles
Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan, Size: Compact Car, Mid-size Sedan
TireJECT is a surprisingly thin fluid that supposedly contains fibers that must help stop up holes. Frankly I'm still confused as to how this stuff can plug a leak, but apparently it does. Tons of reviews say so. I say apparently because the product did not completely stop a slow leak in my tire, but that's OK. I knew it likely wouldn't. I'll have to replace the tire unfortunately. I had a garage install four nearly-new tires on my car. After installing, a heavy leak was discovered in one of them. They took the tire off again and found a small tear near the rim/bead of the sidewall. Since the tear would be flat against the rim, they suggested to let them try and repair it with tire patch adhesive and lots of bead sealer. They were confident, so I went for it. It seemed to work, but it went flat a few days later. TireJECT seemed like the perfect solution to the slow leak since I wouldn't have to disturb the repair. I bought the kind without the syringe and regretted it immediately upon trying to use it. First, the valve stem removal tool broke as it loosened it. I had to buy a new tool down the road. When I went to inject, I squeezed as hard as I could but it just wouldn't flow past the TPM. It also kept leaking out of the flex joint of the nozzle. I had a huge syringe on hand, so I sucked up the rest from the bag, ziptied the hose on both ends and got the rest of the product into the tire. HURRAY! The tire pressure had fallen considerably by the next morning. BOOOoo. I contacted TireJECT, and after several emails (and long waits in between). They determined their product was not suitable for my use case. They refunded what I paid without me even asking. I really appreciated that. That said, before injecting, the tire would go flat overnight. So, TireJECT does work to a good degree. I'm half tempted to overdose the tire with another package. Give TireJECT a try! Though, be sure your situation matches their criteria. If you have a TPM, opt for the package that comes with a syringe. You will need it. Also, throw the cast pot metal, tire stem tool out and get a decent machined one before you do the repair. Thank me later.
