A beautiful glossy orange and brown footed orb vase from the studio of Elly & Wilhelm Kuch, Nuremberg, Germany


TÖPFEREI WILHELM & ELLY KUCH was established in 1947 as a workshop specializing in the production of art ceramics, with an emphasis on glazing. Founded by autodidact Wilhelm Kuch (b. 1925) in the Bavarian municipality of Burgthann, 20 km southeast of Nuremberg, it was rechristened in 1951 after Wilhelm’s marriage to fellow potter and goldsmith Elly Hauenstein (1929–2008). As a craft-oriented studio, TÖPFEREI KUCH continually worked with apprentices and journeymen, and the range of materials and techniques employed was subject to constant expansion. Both functional and ornamental objects, produced in small series, were represented in TÖPFEREI KUCH’s manufacturing program—along with free-standing sculptural works, architectural ceramics, and tiled stoves. From the mid-1950s, the couple collaborated on individual pieces, with Elly creating the shapes and Wilhelm responsible for glazes and decoration. Their work was marked with a name stamp and the workshop mark. (Wilhelm passed his master craftsman’s examination in 1953.)

In 1966, the Kuchs became the first Germans to be awarded the Premio Faenza by the Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza in its long-standing international ceramics competition—arguably the world’s most prestigious—repeating their win in 1973. Elly Kuch represented Germany at the International Ceramic Symposium that same year at the Memphis Academy of Art, which gathered 25 artists from 13 countries. The couple’s awards included a gold medal at the Ceramics International 73 in Calgary, Alberta. The Kuchs’ work is held in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the International Ceramics Museum in Weiden, Germany, and the Kunstmuseum Hersbrück in Hersbrück, Germany. In 1983, the couple became founding members of Gruppe 83, a coalition of German ceramicists. TÖPFEREI KUCH remained popular until it ceased operations in 1990. Its output was exhibited across Germany with regular frequency. Elly Kuch continued her ceramic practice until she died in 2008.


Elly considers her work more as forms than as sculptures. She thinks seeing different ways of working in ceramics is very important. She and her husband, Wilhelm, are now working with a gas kiln and reduction firing, which she feels is, for them, “a new beginning in ceramics.” – 1973 INTERNATIONAL CERAMIC SYMPOSIUM CATALOGUE


GRUPPE 83 was formed in 1983 when the German members of the International Academy of Ceramics (IAC) joined forces to promote ceramics as an independent art form in Germany, support German ceramic artists internationally, and encourage new artists. The secret of the group’s decades-long cohesion is undoubtedly its renunciation of a joint artistic program. Until 2013, membership in the IAC was a necessary criterion for involvement with Gruppe 83; that year, a majority decision of the group severed the link to the IAC as some younger candidates saw it as an obstacle to joining.

Great for softening and conditioning “private” hair!!
Scent: Palo Santo
I’m not trying to shock an offend anybody, but this is a secret I think other women would want to know. A couple of years ago, I was walking down an aisle at the drug store, looking for some way to condition and soften my increasingly graying “girl beard” and I bought Cremo oil thinking if it can work for men’s beards then why can’t it work on other hair. I tried it and I’ve been using it ever since. It immediately softens and conditions and smells incredible. I’m sure that Cremo never envisioned it being used this way but, then again, it all depends what or who’s “beard” you’re talking about doesn’t it? Just saying. Maybe Cremo should start a line for intimate hair called “Private Reserve.” 🤔

Great Price, Last Long, Thick Consistency Smells Great
Scent: Casked Vanilla, Scent: Casked Vanilla
This Casked Vanilla Cremo Beard oil is great. I apply one dropper usually after a shower with a damp beard. To me it absorbs better that way. It doesn’t cause me any skin irritation, the longevity of it last pretty much all day and doesn’t loose smell or consistency and I’m outside for work everyday. Also moisturizing texture it has (whew) Great. Will definitely buy another scent maybe or stick with this one.

Nice, clean and subtle
Scent: Palo Santo
Nice. Reminds me the smell of getting out of a shower. Fresh soap. With notes of juniper. I'm no expert, but for me, it's nice, clean but subtle. As I have been wearing this product a few weeks now, my smell has gotten acclimated. So not sure how long it lasts.

Works great, smells great, love this stuff
Scent: Palo Santo
Works good, smells good, leaves my beard moisturized and feeling fresh. Also helps the skin from dehydration from providing the hair all the moisture instead of your skin
