HANDMADE CHAMOTTE VASE BY HALIDAN KUTLU FOR SPARA KERAMIKA fine example from the line of hand built studio pottery created by Halidan Kutlu for SPARA KERAMIK in the early 1970s. Its heavy form is quite rustic in style and construction. Built with a red orange chamotte clay, a black glaze has been applied to the blond undercoat and then wiped off before a second firing to leave all of the craters in the clay body black. The interior has been waterproofed with a glossy brown glaze, and the bottom decorated

A fine example from the line of hand-built studio pottery created by Halidan Kutlu for SPARA KERAMIK in the early 1970s.  Its heavy form is quite rustic in style and construction.  Built with a red-orange chamotte clay, a black glaze has been applied to the blond undercoat and then wiped off before a second firing to leave all of the craters in the clay body black.  The interior has been waterproofed with a glossy brown glaze, and the bottom decorated with a ring of mottled turquoise rectangles.  Hand-marked on the base with the form and size numbers 612/25 and faintly impressed with the SPARA stamp (as is typical of the company's early studio work).

SPARA KERAMIK was founded in 1947 by Ludwig Spang in the small town of Ransbach-Baumbach in the Kannenbäckerland in central Germany.  (The Kannenbäckerland—the "jug-bakers' land"—is a centuries-old home to ceramics manufacture and the site of the largest clay deposit in Europe.)  A relatively small manufacturer, its output—which included both molded ceramics and hand-built pieces—was limited.  Few details are known about SPARA; like many ceramics companies of the day, it left no paper archive.  (SPARA is a portmanteau of its founder's name  and Ransbach.)

SPARA KERAMIK's modern production began in earnest in the late 1960s.  Halidan Kutlu was its key designer in the very early 1970s.  Kutlu, who also created for Ü Keramik and Majolika Karlsruhe, was Turkish-born, and many of the items he designed during this period have a pronounced Middle Eastern flavor.  This is especially true of the studio pottery.  SPARA KERAMIK pottery is generally very well made.  The studio pieces tend to be heavy and very sturdy.

SPARA KERAMIK mainly used light-colored clay, although some early works, particularly studio pieces, were formed with a red-orange chamotte variety.  Many items are either molded with or stamped with the firm's name on the base.  A SPARA stamp combined with a hand-marked form number generally indicates studio work.  Some bases are left unmarked.  SPARA KERAMIK ceased to exist in 1985 when it was acquired by Hark GmbH & Co. KG and refitted for the production of fireplaces and furnaces.

Case quality is great, but keyboard is disappointing
Color: Mulberry
The quality of the case is really great. Plum color is beautiful. However, the keyboard is not the best quality. The keys are not sensitive enough and you can easily misspell words if you don’t click a key hard enough. The trackpad shortcuts are cool but inconvenient since you can turn off the shortcuts. You can turn off the trackpad but that just doesn’t work for me.

Economically priced ipad case
Color: Mulberry
There's absolutely no way you could find a better ipad case with a wireless keyboard for this price. My daughter loves it. I was expecting it to feel a little cheap because of the price. I was wrong, this is a great find... thanks

Cute but beware of buttons with a mind of its own.
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
Super cute. Only has 3 keyboard multicolor options and one white light setting. Dimmable. But its functionality needs work. But the keys keep doing weird things like skipping lines, changing excel sheet formatting and just moving where I am typing on it own. Like it will be typing and then move to the beginning of the sentence and keep moving. The feel is super light and the quality of the case is great though. It’s easy to use and install to device with Bluetooth. Value is you get what you paid for. This keyboard is cute but not working quite well. I accidentally ordered a different model for a later iPad and had to return it, but based off of a leader model in comparison to this one, the keyboard just isn’t that great

Great Keyboard Case!
Color: Pink
Bought this for the wife for Mother’s Day since she needed a new keyboard and case. She used my old Magic Keyboard but constantly was tired of taking her iPad off, just to rotate it. Bought this and she loves it. Very durable, even with our 2 year old playing with it. Keyboard is bright and is good to use. Just a Bluetooth keyboard setup and it’s all good to go! Definitely great value for the money and something highly recommended for those with an iPad Air or Pro.
