West German Pottery Spotted (44) – Get Over It, Film

Potsandpots has Little Owl Ski to thank for spotting these West German vases in the ‘Get Over It’ film. The film released in 2001 is a teen comedy loosely based on William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The filming was located in Canada and features some great retro houses and – the reason for it appearing here – some West German pottery.

West German Pottery Spotted (42) – Retro House – Bessacarr, Doncaster

This WGP spot comes from the excellent The Modern House website which features retro/vintage houses when they go up for sale. This paticular example is in Bessacarr, Doncaster and was designed by architect Peter Aldington. The house built in 1967 makes a perfect setting for the Scheurich vase we spotted on the dining room table.
