A tall Ü KERAMIK flower vase from the 1970s.  A canary yellow top glaze commingles with a gun-metal underglaze to produce an iridescent, fat-lava drip.  Above the shoulder the vase is covered in high-gloss, selenium-red glaze, speckled with black.  Very chic.  A portion of the original foil label is intact.  (When held at certain angles to the light, the mold number and size in centimeters is still legible on the base through the thick glaze.)

Ü KERAMIK (aka ÜBELACKER) began as a tin foundry in 1909 in the small town of Ransbach-Baumbach in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.  Master tinsmith Johann Übelacker initially produced simple pewterware, but he soon experimented with pieces that incorporated stoneware elements—in the manner of the common beer stein.  The popularity of these led to Ü KERAMIK's expansion into the manufacture of terracotta and fine earthenware goods and eventually, in the 1930s, the production of glazed ceramics.  Sometime after WWII, the firm began collaborating with Siershahner Feinsteinzeugfabrik, a maker of klinker pottery in nearby Siershahn, and by 1949 it had taken over its operations.  The companies combined employed more than 550 people and were well positioned to help supply war-weary Europe with the domestic trappings of a brighter, more prosperous future.

Johann Übelacker was an early adopter of the ceramics industry's technical innovations.  To cite a late example, working with Ü KERAMIK's resident chemist and artistic director Heinz Hommerich in 1954, he pioneered the mass-scale production of objects glazed in selenium red.  The newly-formulated fiery finish gave Ü KERAMIK an enormous upper-hand in the marketplace.  It would be the last advance Übelacker would introduce personally; he died in 1955.  The business was left in the hands of his three sons, who had learned the trade from childhood.  Ü KERAMIK was one of the largest producers in the region by that time.  Its impressive range of products included all kinds of ceramic forms, both utilitarian and ornamental.  The 1958 catalogue featured 25 different models of vases (not counting wall vases and pitchers) available in 66 sizes and 15 designs.  A relatively large portion of Ü KERAMIK's output was exported to Austria and Scandinavia.

In 1960 Johann's sons were enticed by government incentives to co-establish Kilrush, a ceramics factory on Ireland's west coast.  Unfortunately, the concern failed after only two years.  (It was eventually acquired by Rosenthal in 1973.)  A second Irish factory was built in the 1980s to better service the Scandinavian markets, where Ü KERAMIK products remained extremely popular—even as interest in decorative ceramics in Germany waned.  However a second time proved no charm.  The venture was a financial debacle and left the brothers struggling with debt.  The factory in Siershahn had to be closed as a result.  Finally, in 1990, the main plant in Ransbach filed for bankruptcy.

A note on identification:  Ü KERAMIK pieces were generally made of white or off-white clay and were usually marked on the bottom with only a form number and height.  Foil stickers with the company logo were frequently used; occasionally the logo can be found impressed on the base.  Consisting of a circled u-umlaut (ü), the logo bears a striking resemblance to a smiley face.

Best glass skin mask that makes it look like you just had a facial!
Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose), Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose)
I bought this mask yesterday and used it last night for the first time. It instantly became part of my skincare regimen after just one use. I’ve tried a couple of different Korean skincare masks, but this one is already my top pick. First, it comes with the silicone applicator to help apply it evenly. It’s not sticky or tacky and it stays in place. The directions say wait 40 minutes and after 40 minutes it is dry and peels off like a normal face mask! It doesn’t pull at your skin when peeling it off, you don’t need to rinse it with water, and then the results are INSTANT. I was completely captivated in the shine it gave my skin. This will be a repeated purchase which sounds crazy after one use, but you can just tell it’s that good!! I included before and after (less than an hour time difference in these photos!)

30 minute miracle for glassy, glowy skin!
Color: Lifting (Jericho Rose)
Look, I haven't tried any other collagen wrapping masks, but I don't have to! This one leaves my skin SO GLOWY, pretty and fresh. It's easy to peel off, easy to put on. It's a self-care, spa day, moment when I get to use this mask. I've tried sleeping with it but it doesn't want to stay on that long. After about an hour, it's ready to come off almost on it's own. However, I don't need to keep it on overnight to get that magic glow. This would be great to do pre-event, pre-pictures, or anytime you want your skin to just look its best. This one does the trick and I highly encourage you to try it. It's affordable as well and just a peptide tsunami for the skin. Get it. Love it. Be your best self.
