Schäffenacker (Schaeffenacker)


Helmut Schäffenacker was the master of plaques.  Horses and birds were his most common motifs (as was true of most W. German plaques), but he did a variety of work.  This is one of his simplest designs.


Schlossberg


Schlossberg, no form number, identified by label




Steuler



Steuler Shape 315




A Different Steuler Shape 315?




Steuler Shape 159
Part of the Facette (Facet) series designed by Cari Zalloni.
Schäffenacker (Schaeffenacker)








Schlossberg



Shape number appears to be 281
Based on number, clay, and look of the base this vase is attributed to Schlossberg.


Steuler



Steuler Shape 236




Steuler Candle holder Shape 150




Steuler Shape 4071
This mark was used before 1960.
Schäffenacker (Schaeffenacker)

Although best known for his plaques, Schaeffenacker did vases as well. Unlike the plaques, vases did not typically have a company mark.  Most vases are not this traditional in form, ranging instead across a number of sculptural abstract shapes.







Schlossberg



Shape 236
Believed to be Schlossberg, but Schlossberg attributions remain among the more difficult.



Steuler



Steuler Shape 215
This is the Zyklon (Cyclone) design by Cari Zalloni.






Steuler Shape 4219

Please take the time to let us know what you think about the site, the look, the language, photos, items, prices, etc. If you have any questions, comments, or good ideas for conversation, feel free to contact us. There should be e-mail links on every page, and the actual address is ginfor@earthlink.net  

Guarantee: We have a simple, "If you aren't happy, we aren't happy" policy.  If you open a package and suddenly wonder why you bought it in the first place, you can return it for a full refund of your purchase price and the shipping one way.  Your only risk is the cost to ship it back to us. If it turns out that we made a mistake, then we pay the shipping both ways. I won't say "no questions asked" because we will ask so we'll know how to make fewer mistakes.

Payment terms:  We try not to be overly picky about the details.  If we can put it in the bank and pay some bills without any undo fuss, then we'll probably take it.  We're quite happy to take checks and money orders, and we're signed up with Paypal, which is the easiest route if you want to pay by credit card.  If you have some other method in mind, get in touch, and we'll see what we can work out.  Monopoly money, anything you may have printed in the basement, and chickens are right out.
