A rare, 1970s, bottle-green “belly” vase from ROTH KERAMIK. A very crusty, metallic dove-gray zigzag of volcanic fat lava slips down to skirt the waist of this classic “UFO.” The base is marked with the form Nr. (110) and country of origin (W. GERMANY).


ROTH KERAMIK was founded in the late 1960s, or very early 1970s, by husband-and-wife team Edmund and Dorothea Roth. The factory was situated in Ebernhahn, roughly halfway between Cologne (Köln) and Frankfurt, in the Westerwald region of Germany. A central hub for the German ceramics industry, the area is known as the Kannenbäckerland (jug-baker’s land) and is home to the largest clay deposit in Europe. Quite small compared to the big names of German art pottery, ROTH employed only about 20 people in its heyday. Its output was naturally tiny when measured against that of industry giants like Scheurich and Carstens.

Dorothea Roth is believed to have been responsible for the company’s designs. Her signature pieces featured brightly colored, high-gloss, cut-out “lozenges” or “petals,” that were outlined with duller, black (or sometimes white), “fat-lava” glazing. This décor was reproduced on a variety of shapes, including the iconic Guitar and Banjo vases. Besides the most common orange, the striking colors used for the lozenges included red, yellow, and rare (highly collectible!) purple examples.

(“Fat lava” refers to a thick, bubbly, textured appearance that resembles volcanic rock or molten lava. Produced by a chemical reaction during high-temperature ceramic firing, the key ingredient used in its creation is silicon carbide powder. As kiln temperatures rise and glazes begin to melt into glass, the silicon carbide decomposes, generating carbon dioxide. The gas gets trapped within the melting, viscous glaze, forming bubbles. As firing continues, the bubbles swell and burst through the surface, creating either little craters or a foamy, textured layer similar to pumice. The term “fat lava” is believed to be a mistranslation from German, where the word meaning “thick”—referring to the glaze’s depth and sculptural quality—was rendered as the punchier “fat.”)

For many years, it was widely believed that Marei Keramik supplied ROTH with “blanks,” undecorated ceramic shapes, a common practice in the West German ceramics industry at the time. However, recent scholarship has at least partially debunked the idea. The implied relationship is now deemed a case of mistaken identity, owing to misattribution by collectors and historians, rather than a commercial partnership.

Very little else is known about ROTH KERAMIK. Despite its small size, the firm produced some of the most sought-after and collectible pottery of the late mid-century period while developing some truly distinctive volcanic and fat-lava glazes. Toward the end of the golden age of Art Pottery, ROTH began producing rather utilitarian tableware. The company was officially dissolved in 2008.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
