<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4421708, member: 33&quot;]Viewed Google search results, looking for something about the ceramics company. There are <b>many</b> websites displaying or selling items whose design is similar and attributed to the Huber-Roethe company. But no info about the company, until I found this very recent blog post from a museum site. Google has translated the original German into English, so there are a few grammatical errors. The people in the photo are holding a vase from the company. It appears that the vase has similar colors, but is a German scene in this case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Link to original German: <a href="https://www.freundeskreis-stadtmuseum.de/2022/02/13/bodenvase-aus-der-keramikwerkstatt-huber-roethe/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.freundeskreis-stadtmuseum.de/2022/02/13/bodenvase-aus-der-keramikwerkstatt-huber-roethe/" rel="nofollow">https://www.freundeskreis-stadtmuseum.de/2022/02/13/bodenvase-aus-der-keramikwerkstatt-huber-roethe/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><b>Floor vase from the ceramic workshop Huber-Roethe</b></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Rudolf Schnur presented a clay town view to the Friends of the City Museum</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The historic cityscape of Landshut is the theme and motif of a voluminous floor vase, which the Friends of the Stadtmuseum Landshut eV recently received. City councilor and parliamentary group leader Rudolf Schnur presented the gem from the Huber-Roethe ceramics workshop in Landshut in the Franciscan cloister of the LANDSHUTmuseum: &quot;When I heard about the sale of this vase, I spontaneously bought it to secure it for the museum in the interests of the city of Landshut&quot;, reports cord.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The subject and motif of the vase is the historic cityscape of Landshut. Ländtor and city fortifications and the gables of the old town houses, which form the backdrop for the castle and Martinskirche as the city&#039;s landmark, are thickened over an old-white glaze. The contour lines of all buildings were scratched into the clay with a loose stroke. Brown and beige tones as well as the yellow-green of the Hofberg dominate. Only the facades of the old town houses - under the Landshut three helmet coat of arms - set bright, colored accents in turquoise, yellow and red.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;At the beginning of the 1950s, the ceramic workshop Huber-Roethe in Landshut-Achdorf, under the direction of Herta Huber-Roethe, developed a modern ceramic collection that met the taste of the time of the economic miracle with asymmetrically shaped and gently curved vessels in the &quot;kidney style&quot;. At times, the business, which was then run by Rainer Huber-Roethe and finally by his wife Gerda Huber-Roethe until 1984, employed up to twenty people.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The board members of the Circle of Friends, Prof. Dr. Gernot Autenrieth, Prof. Dr. Axel Holstege, Fritz Merk and Anke Humpeneder-Graf as well as the two museum representatives present, the deputy museum director and ceramics expert Thomas Stangier and graduate restorer Anette Klöpfer. In the spirit of the Friends, the vase will be placed in the museum depot and will be cared for and stored there so that it is available for future research and exhibitions.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377324[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
