Philips HR 5284 Small Electric Alarm Clock Made in West Germany

Jon Nix — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 16:50:11 +0000

A rare electic alarm clock with analogue display delivered in a glossy black body with full front bezel. This is a model Hr 5284 made by Philips in West Germany, which was available in red/orange and grey/black colours schemes. It's a small unit, measuring just 12cm across the front, with a height of 7cm and a depth of 6cm, with the only departure from the smooth lines and surfaces being the alarm control button on the top of the body. The seconds hand is of the silent sweep variety and the face has fluorescent indicators. Time and alarm time setting is achieved via the adjuster at the rear of the body, which performs both roles with a push/pull mechanism. Please note, the alarm is a "buzzer" style and is relatively subdued. A service might improve this (i.e. make it louder), of course.

In good working condition with just a few minor surface blemishes/grazes to be expected of an item of this age and use.

Measuring 13cm (5 in.) from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, this little dog is a quirky little ornament for the Dachsie lover or the collector of these unusual objects.

West German Krups Type 621 White Flip Clock with Day/Night and Day Display

Jon Nix — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 12:57:37 +0000

Technically a cyclometer rather than a flip clock, the Krups 621 is a small but perfectly formed analogue clock with alarm, day/night and day name display (in German), and rotating seconds indicator. It's an understated slab of minimal design in the vein of Dieter Rams and the Braun design ethos, with a flat front angled slightly upwards from the slender base. The front is dominated by the contrasting display panel whilst the rest of the unit is subtle and sculpted, with no fuss to it at all. Even the time and alarm adjustment knob is cleverly configured to cause the least amount of surface interruption. There's a clean, space-age feel to it.

In fully working condition and with superficial wear and tear to be expected from an item of its age and use. There are no chips or cracks to the casing. It measures approximately 18cm across the front, extends to a depth of 11cm and is 8cm at its highest. Please note, this unit requirees a 240V power supply and is currently wired to a UK 3-pin plug.

West German Marei Keramik Blue and Brown Floral Handpainted Planter Pot

Jon Nix — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 13:18:42 +0000

A gorgeously decorated planter in predominantly navy, cyan, and brown tones with a classic and characteristic cylindrical form, made by Marei Keramik. Dating from the 1970s and stamped "Made In W. Germany, the planter features a textured and incised (sgraffito) ground with a handpainted flowers and leaves design, with a boldly contrasting solid navy blue interior.

This one is in very good condition with no chips or cracks and seemingly little used, although being a vintage piece you should expect minor scuffs and signs of age. It measures approximately 12cm (4¾in.) in height and a similar diameter. It's a solid piece and would serve as originally intended i.e. as a plant pot holder or equally well as a pen, stationery, or utensils pot.

Very Large West German Schlossberg Keramik “Staufen” Vase

Jon Nix — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 16:58:04 +0000

Coming in at a whopping 36cm high, this Schlossberg Keramik vase made in the early 1960s in West Germany, is as much a piece of sculpture as it is a ceramic item. Decorated in the "Staufen" design it is a visually stunning piece with a dark grey striped ground punctuated by raised white lines and panels of colour: red, yellow and a greenish-blue. It's an eye-catching design with an Atomic style, slightly bulging middle and curved rim and at the size that it is, it would certainly make an impact in anyone's home.

The vase is in excellent unchipped and uncracked condition. There are some very minor blemishes and one section of vertical white stripe is slightly lacking towards the top, but this appears to be from the original manufacturing process rather than anything that happened to the vase subsequently.

The base has the Schlossberg mark on it and the form number impressed into it. The mark is not absolutely distinct - it would seem to be "101/36" but we could be mistaken about that.

We welcome offers on this outstanding and unusual piece and are happy to discuss price and shipping/collection options with any interested parties.

Large Mustard and Cream Textured Vase by Scheurich, West Germany (520-28)

Jon Nix — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 15:23:27 +0000

A magnificent large textured mustard and cream vase by Scheurich of West Germany, design no. 520-28 (stamped to the base). The dark mustard ground is decorated with a textured cream/white zig-zag pattern, and this, along with the shape of the vase, gives the vase great retro appeal.

The vase is 28cm (11in.) in height with a base diameter of 9cm (3½in.). Overall, the condition of the vase is excellent, though there is a patch of wear on the inside near the rim which should be noted, even if it is not immediately apparent.

Large West German Blue and Green Vase by Bay Keramik

Jon Nix — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 13:19:37 +0000

A very large (25cm / 10in. high) blue and green West German vase made by Bay Keramik. The vase features banded relief patterns in blue and green with suggestions of yellow and an interior gloss glaze in brown. Truly spectacular in colour, size and shape and in very good condition, the only minor blemish being a tiny chip on the base (see photos) which is hardly noticeable in ordinary use.

The bottom is stamped "92 25" - the "92" being the style number and the "25" indicating the size - and "BAY +".

Early 60s Egg Cup by W. Goebel

Jon Nix — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 23:36:30 +0000

Made in 1962 in West Germany, this abstract design pottery egg cup is about as cool as an egg cup can get (possibly - we've certainly not seen one better!). It's egg-shaped in plan with a palette of browns and features a slot to store your egg spoon* in between skirmishes. Not much more to be said, really, except that if you want to eat your boiled egg with a bit of 60s style then this is the egg cup for you!

* Egg spoon not included, sorry!
