A small, casually elegant pitcher from TÖPFEREI WILHELM & ELLY KUCH. Both the finish and the form exhibit a subtle delicacy, testifying to the couple’s respective skills. Faint vertical streaks on the exterior evoke a “hare’s fur” glaze. Fully functional with a glossy interior. The unglazed bottom carries a clear studio mark.


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.

Color: Rose Gold Pink, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation, Color: Rose Gold Pink, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation
**7 MONTH UPDATE APRIL 2026** The kickstand broke! The iPad is still protected and no damages. Even without an extra screen protector the screen was not damaged/scratched. I wont be changing the stars because we did heavily use this tablet case during our travels. Kids use it to hang on the back of the seat, rotated the kick stand a lot! The case looks nice. We bought it because its got a kick stand, handle and a strap. I like those features. It looks sturdy and the front already comes with a plastic protector. I think you should still buy one to put underneath if you want extra protection. One star taken off because I had a hard time snapping all the sides back into place. Hopefully this last a while. Bought it for the iPad a11.

Great protective case for kids and everyday use
Color: Navy/Green
This iPad case is very sturdy and perfect for kids or anyone who wants extra protection. The material feels strong and shockproof, giving good confidence against drops and bumps. It fits the iPad perfectly and all buttons, cameras, and ports are easy to access. The built-in kickstand is really useful for watching videos, gaming, or schoolwork, and it holds the tablet steady without tipping over. The navy and green colors look nice and make it easy to spot. Easy to install, durable, and well designed. Great value for protecting an iPad — definitely recommend.
