HANDMADE CHAMOTTE VASE BY HALIDAN KUTLU FOR SPARA KERAMIKA fine example from the line of hand built studio pottery created by Halidan Kutlu for SPARA KERAMIK in the early 1970s. Its heavy form is quite rustic in style and construction. Built with a red orange chamotte clay, a black glaze has been applied to the blond undercoat and then wiped off before a second firing to leave all of the craters in the clay body black. The interior has been waterproofed with a glossy brown glaze, and the bottom decorated

A fine example from the line of hand-built studio pottery created by Halidan Kutlu for SPARA KERAMIK in the early 1970s.  Its heavy form is quite rustic in style and construction.  Built with a red-orange chamotte clay, a black glaze has been applied to the blond undercoat and then wiped off before a second firing to leave all of the craters in the clay body black.  The interior has been waterproofed with a glossy brown glaze, and the bottom decorated with a ring of mottled turquoise rectangles.  Hand-marked on the base with the form and size numbers 612/25 and faintly impressed with the SPARA stamp (as is typical of the company's early studio work).

SPARA KERAMIK was founded in 1947 by Ludwig Spang in the small town of Ransbach-Baumbach in the Kannenbäckerland in central Germany.  (The Kannenbäckerland—the "jug-bakers' land"—is a centuries-old home to ceramics manufacture and the site of the largest clay deposit in Europe.)  A relatively small manufacturer, its output—which included both molded ceramics and hand-built pieces—was limited.  Few details are known about SPARA; like many ceramics companies of the day, it left no paper archive.  (SPARA is a portmanteau of its founder's name  and Ransbach.)

SPARA KERAMIK's modern production began in earnest in the late 1960s.  Halidan Kutlu was its key designer in the very early 1970s.  Kutlu, who also created for Ü Keramik and Majolika Karlsruhe, was Turkish-born, and many of the items he designed during this period have a pronounced Middle Eastern flavor.  This is especially true of the studio pottery.  SPARA KERAMIK pottery is generally very well made.  The studio pieces tend to be heavy and very sturdy.

SPARA KERAMIK mainly used light-colored clay, although some early works, particularly studio pieces, were formed with a red-orange chamotte variety.  Many items are either molded with or stamped with the firm's name on the base.  A SPARA stamp combined with a hand-marked form number generally indicates studio work.  Some bases are left unmarked.  SPARA KERAMIK ceased to exist in 1985 when it was acquired by Hark GmbH & Co. KG and refitted for the production of fireplaces and furnaces.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

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
