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.

If you're here, just get it, especially the disc version. You will not regret it.
Style: PS5 Disc, Configuration: Console only
This PlayStation 5 console is objectively one of the best purchases I have ever made. As we get older, we forget to keep having fun and experiencing life and everything that it has to offer. Coming from a Wii, the transition has been nothing short of astounding. The speed and responsiveness are unbelievable; it's like stepping into a whole new world of gaming and entertainment. Pairing streaming apps is an effortless process, and the visual quality of movies and TV shows has been elevated to a whole new level of stunning clarity. The ethernet port provides a rock-solid connection, eliminating any lag or interruptions, which is a huge plus for online gaming. The numerous USB ports offer so much flexibility, allowing me to connect my noise-canceling headphones directly to the system, which is incredibly convenient. However, be warned, while it advertises 1TB of storage, you're realistically looking at around 830GB. Modern games are surprisingly data-hungry, and I already feel the pinch, with only about 100-150GB remaining. I would highly recommend opting for the 2TB model from the get-though, as the 1TB will fill up quickly. Games like Ratchet & Clank and Sackboy are incredibly fun and engaging, and I'm excited to dive into the Kingdom Hearts series soon. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been a blast in both multiplayer and the zombie modes, showcasing the console's power and performance. Also, seriously consider the disc version. I initially thought 4K was 4K, no matter the source, but I was completely wrong. The difference between streaming 4K and watching a 4K disc is night and day; the picture is crisp, the sound is rich, and the overall viewing experience is simply immersive. Apparently, streaming 4K is compressed, which I had no idea about. For movie and TV enthusiasts, this is an investment that pays off handsomely. Imagine experiencing iconic films like "The Dark Knight," "Interstellar," or "Inception" with this level of visual and audio quality. Even shows like "Arcane" and the Spider-Verse movies would look absolutely breathtaking. I now understand why physical media still has a place, especially for my favorite movies and TV shows that I'll rewatch countless times. The ability to watch these titles in pristine 4K, regardless of internet connectivity, is a huge bonus, especially for families.
