A West German flower vase with a beautiful silhouette and glaze from the KNÖDGEN KERAMIK factory (formerly Ilkra Edel Keramik) in Ransbach-Baumbach, Germany. The flowing glaze in hues of blue-on-blue is almost iridescent and a perfect complement to the tapered form of the vase.


ILKRA EDEL KERAMIK (later KNÖDGEN KERAMIK) was founded in the Rhineland by Jacob Leopold Knödgen in 1892—in the town of Ransbach-Baumbach, as Erste Ransbacher Feinsteinzeug-Fabrik J.L. Knödgen (First Ransbach Fine Stoneware Factory J.L. Knödgen). Knödgen's father owned a vitrified clay factory located in nearby Höhr, but Jacob chose to strike out on his own. The firm's initial program included typical Westerwald products: beer steins, wine jugs, and dishes. The range of decorative ceramics was greatly expanded following WWII, mainly on the initiative of Jacob's son Richard, who had taken over the firm in 1936. Around the same time, the company's name was shortened to JLKRA, an initialism of the founder's name and the company's location—Jacob Leo Knögden, RAnsbach—soon altered to the more pronounceable ILKRA. (Both spellings are documented in business documents; the latter is generally preferred today. The name ILKRA was often appended with the descriptor "EDEL," best translated in this context as "fine.")

Especially after 1955, ILKRA produced vases with elaborate and colorful décors that drew a lot of attention to the firm. Many of its products bore striking resemblance to the work of Clemens & Huhn and have often been misattributed in collectors' literature. Famous designers of the period included Ernst Werner, Richard Knögden's son-in-law; Josef Koch; and Edmund Peters. ILKRA used dark red clay before 1958 and white clay after that date. Items were marked with a form number and size, but never "West Germany." The numbers are sometimes split across two lines, separated by a solid line.

ILKRA was one of several companies that produced pottery lines for Guido Riffarth, one of the most important mid-century German ceramics wholesalers. Riffarth supplied vases and planters to almost all of the flower shops in the old federal territory; its products were offered under the labels Ri-Keramik and Riffrath-Keramik. Around 1965, ILKRA was renamed J.L. Knödgen Keramik, in honor of the company’s founder, and the ILKRA name was retired. When Richard Knödgen died in 1969, the company was left in the hands of his son Leo. However, sales of its decorative ceramics were declining by that point, and the company (now called simply KNÖDGEN KERAMIK) switched to the exclusive production of planters in 1970. The concern was sold to Römertopf Keramik GmbH & Co in 1995, who used its factory to manufacture ceramic kitchenware. Römertopf remains in business to this day.

Lightweight for every day
Color: Classic
This sunscreen is perfection! It glides on and absorbs quickly. Blends to your skin color. Hydrates as well as prevents sun damage. You need to use enough to prevent sun damage, so follow directions carefully. I put it on first thing every morning.

Highly recommend for pale sun worshippers
Color: Classic
My dermatologist recommends using zinc-based lotions to protect my skin from the harmful effects of the sun. This lotion doesn’t leave me and my husband looking like ashen, smelly zombies in an apocalyptic movie. Expensive but definitely worth the price if you have pale skin that burns easily. Hopefully a version for darker skin is on the horizon.

Love it! My favorite of their products yet!
Color: Classic, Color: Classic
I love it! I think this is my favorite of theirs. I like their tinted sunscreen too but that this one feels a lot lighter in my opinion. Ive mostly used mineral sunscreen only and this one is seriously good. To see if the white cast is okay, I made sure to put enough on my face - I apply a thin layer one my face each time, let it dries a little, put on another layer, until I have three layers in total of it. It blends in so well that I can’t say it leaves white cast on my face. With a mineral sunscreen, you would almost always have to expect a little bit of a lightened film on your skin unless you use a chemical sunscreen (which stings my eyes), I look for those that would still make your skin color look nature and not like a ghost. It honestly feels just as nice if not nicer than my all time favorite mineral sunscreen from another brand - I was sad to find that my face finally started reacting to that one because of the fragrance it has, but I’m glad it led me to this ColorScience sunscreen! This one is water resistant too - it just has everything that I want. I’m sticking to it! Updated: been using this for a few times now and still my absolute favorite. I wanted to show a few more pictures on how it looks on my skin compared with another brand (my former favorite). I also added how a Neutrogena mineral sunscreen looks on the back of my hand so you can see the ColorScience one really don’t have much white cast whatsoever. I tried to spread it out good though. And the scent - it’s the some as one of their products that I’ve tried. I don’t find it off putting as long as it’s not added fragrance I’m good.

Works well to protect face
Color: Classic
Works well to protect face from sun and is not too oily. However, it needs more of tint to it and is too white.
