A tall, rectangular, persimmon-orange vase from Ü-Keramik that transitions at the shoulder to a round neck and mouth covered with a thick and bubbly, metallic fat-lava drip glaze with shades of butterscotch and gunmetal.


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!

My recent purchase of a keyboard wrist rest pad has significantly improved my typing experience, and I couldn't be more satisfied with its ergonomic design and practical features. This wrist rest pad strikes the perfect balance between comfort and compactness. Its ergonomic design provides excellent support, reducing strain during extended typing sessions. The padding is just right, offering a comfortable resting place for wrists without feeling overly soft or bulky. One of the standout features for me is the compact size of the pad. It fits perfectly in front of my keyboard without taking up excessive space on my desk. This design consideration is fantastic for those who want ergonomic support without sacrificing valuable workspace. Cleaning is a breeze with this wrist rest pad. The material used is not only comfortable but also easy to wipe clean. It's a practical addition that ensures a hygienic and well-maintained workspace. Whether you're a professional who spends hours typing or a casual user looking for added comfort, this wrist rest pad is a game-changer. Its compact size, ergonomic design, and easy-to-clean features make it a standout accessory that I highly recommend.

Size: 100% Standard, Size: 100% Standard
A nice leather cushion that fits perfect with keyboard. Definitely made a difference in wrist comfort. Good price and well made. A simple item done right and happy with purchase. I was hesitant as it said a frequently returned item. I dont see reason to return. Im guessing most people didnt get the correct size.

Simple and Straightforward Wrist Rest
Size: 60% Compact
There's not much to write home about here other than it suits the purposes I purchased it for. This accompanies my K629-RGB Redragon keyboard. It lines up pretty well with the keyboard, and the rest itself makes a nice incline between my desk surface and the keyboard. The padding isn't too plush and is pretty good at providing wrist support. It's also been very good at holding its shape despite the pressure that my wrists have put in the same spot over the last few months; the padding is even across the entire wrist rest as a result. I've noticed that my hand doesn't cramp as much when typing for long periods of time with this rest, so it's doing exactly what I would expect for the ergonomics of my keyboard. One downside is that it's prone to develop sweat marks where you rest your palms. It can't really be wiped away, given that it gets absorbed over time. I would say that if you are concerned with the appearance of the product, you may want to look into a plastic rest instead. I personally don't find this to be much of an issue since the pad is black, and you can only see the marks at certain angles, but I can understand if that's a dealbreaker for some. Otherwise, the rest of the pad is easily cleaned. I usually use a handheld vacuum to tackle dust and crumbs that stick onto the sides and bottom of the pad. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who has a compact keyboard without a built-in hand rest. The pad is perfectly sized for my needs and provides the support that I need for my work. If you're hesitant about dealing with a product that may stain, look into plastic wrist rests instead.

comfy, not rigid and would recommend
Size: 60% Compact
it has some slip resistance though I see it slightly sliding every so often, it's obviously easy to install just place it there ha-ha, sturdy and comfortable. good support, I settled for this because I got it for 5 bucks not bad at all, it's about a half inch smaller than my keyboard (it says the size, so I knew that prior to purchasing so its sizing is correct as stated, a good thing) I should mention my desk is hard wood with some scratches in it so some of my other things slide too so I can't say its slip resistance is bad even with it slightly shifting every so often I'm sure it will be better for your desks too. here its barley slides so I'm sure it will stick in place like glue on your desks (aka wont slide you can easily move it if you wanted). I looked at the reviews saying this thing was rigid or not enough cushion, I feel like it's not too little not too much, not rigid, don't know what they are talking about, anyways I would definitely recommend.

Feels nice and looks great
Size: 80% Tenkeyless, Size: 80% Tenkeyless
I bought this wrist rest in like new condition for $6 and I will say it’s 100% worth MSRP at $15-20. The weight is nice, it doesn’t slip on my mousepad. It’s very comfortable to rest my palms and wrist on. The sizing pairs well with my 80% keyboard. It functions as it should. I use this at a stand up desk on an industrial shop floor to help put my wrist at a better angle and it works perfect.
