A small 1970s relief décor table lamp in red and tan with a crusty white volcanic fat-lava top glaze from Ü-KERAMIK. Paired with a nubby period shade. Fully tested and in perfect working order.

The cord has an in-line switch and has been fitted with a US plug.

Ü-KERAMIK (aka ÜBELACKER) began as a tin foundry in 1909 in the small town of Ransbach-Baumbach in the southwest German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Master tinsmith Johann Übelacker initially produced simple pewterware, but he was soon experimenting with pieces that incorporated stoneware elements—in the manner of the common beer stein. The popularity of these led to Ü-KERAMIK's expansion into, first, the manufacture of terracotta and fine earthenware goods and, in the 1930s, the production of glazed ceramics.

At some point following WWII, Ü-KERAMIK began collaborating with Siershahner Feinsteinzeugfabrik, a maker of "klinker" pottery in nearby Siershahn, and by 1949 it had taken over that company's operations. Combined the two factories employed more than 550 people. They were well positioned to help supply war-weary Europe with the domestic trappings of a brighter, more prosperous future.

Übelacker was an early adopter of his industry's technical innovations. To cite one late example, working with Ü-KERAMIK's resident chemist and artistic director Heinz Hommerich in 1954, he pioneered the mass-scale production of objects glazed in selenium red. The newly-formulated fiery finish gave Ü-KERAMIK an enormous upper-hand in the marketplace. Sadly it would be the last advance Übelacker would introduce personally as he died the next year in 1955.

The business was left in the hands of his three sons, who had learned the trade from childhood. By then Ü-KERAMIK was one of the largest producers in the region. Its impressive range of products included all kinds of ceramic forms, both utilitarian and ornamental. The 1958 catalogue featured 25 different models of vases (not counting wall vases and pitchers) available in 66 sizes and 15 designs. A relatively large portion of Ü-KERAMIK's output was exported to Austria and Scandinavia.

In 1960 Johann's sons were enticed by government incentives to co-establish Kilrush, a ceramics factory on Ireland's west coast. Unfortunately, the concern failed after only two years. (It was eventually acquired by Rosenthal in 1973.) A second Irish factory was built in the 1980s to better service Scandinavian markets—where Ü-KERAMIK products remained extremely popular, even as German interest in decorative ceramics waned. However this second time proved no charm. The venture was a financial debacle and left the three brothers struggling with debt; the factory in Siershahn had to shutter as a result. Finally the main plant in Ransbach filed for bankruptcy in 1990.

A note on identification: Ü-KERAMIK pieces were generally made of white or off-white clay and were usually marked on the bottom with only a form number and height. Foil stickers with the company logo were frequently used; occasionally the logo can be found impressed on the base. Consisting of a circled u-umlaut (ü), the logo bears a striking resemblance to a smiley face.

he Durable, Natural Chew That Finally Gives Peace of Mind
Size: Large
Why It's a Top-Tier Chew: Truly Safe Ingredients (Plant-Powered): This is the biggest selling point. The HonestChew is made from food-grade, plant-based cellulose, vegetable oil, and real antler bone powder—no nylon, no petroleum, and no plastic. This means I can finally relax when my dog is relentlessly gnawing, knowing the ingredients are safe. Engineered for Safety AND Toughness: The material is specifically designed to flake rather than splinter like hard bones or crack like many synthetic chews. This makes it a much safer choice for dental health and digestive safety, even for the most aggressive chompers. It has the feel of a hard chew but with a safer breakdown. Irresistible to Dogs: The chew is infused with real antler powder, giving it a natural, gnaw-worthy scent and flavor that keeps my dog engaged for long periods. The curved, ergonomic Infinity shape is excellent for dogs to grip securely with their paws, promoting a comfortable chewing posture. Dental Support: The nubs and ridges on the surface aren't just for looks; they provide a gentle scraping action that helps scrub away plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and above the gumline while the dog is happily playing. Who Needs This? If you have a dog that quickly destroys "indestructible" toys, swallows rawhide too fast, or causes you stress with the risk of bone splintering, the WOOF HonestChew Infinity is the perfect solution. It stands up to serious chewing and satisfies that innate gnawing instinct with confidence. A highly recommended, long-lasting, and thoughtfully designed product that puts pet health first.
