A stunning and very rare Jaap Ravelli 'Cube Series' vase in a flowing blue and oxblood red glaze with hints of the white clay body showing through.  Vases from the Ravelli cube series are seldom offered. The high gloss glaze is a wonderful contrast to the primitive style of this single form vase.  Studio stamp to the bottom of one leg.

RAVELLI POTTERY (1947-1977) was founded by Jaap Ravelli in Valkenburg (ZH) shortly after the end of WWII.  The ceramics produced there are without a doubt some of the most recognizable in Dutch ceramics history of the twentieth century.  Ravelli's company was responsible for a large number of mostly serially produced articles which played a major role in defining the design aesthetic of the post-war Netherlands. He was born in 1916 in Princenhage, and In his youth spent a few years in the Dutch East Indies and a few years in Curaçao.  After training at the National Institute for Art Teachers in Amsterdam and a year at the Royal Academy of Art in Amsterdam, Jaap, together with his brother Dick (1919-1980), took the first steps in the early 1940s in the field of ceramics.  At the start, they bought tiles from the Oosthoek roof tile factory and painted them to sell out of a studio on the Breestraat in Leiden. During the war, a building was rented in which a peat furnace was built and used to fire their own pottery. The first products were made here between 1946 and 1947, after which the company moved to Valkenburg where the 'Potterie Ravelli' was born. Jaap became the driving artistic force, while Dick dealt with business operations in the background.

Shortly after the war, there was a great need for consumer goods. This led to a proliferation of companies that produced products of varying quality with varying success.  Potterie Ravelli also initially focused on crockery and simple vases. Because both owners had no experience in the ceramic field, many things had to be discovered and further developed along the way.  In retrospect, one could say that the fact that the company developed in a non-conformist, non-traditional way may have been one of the most important factors in their success.  Pretty soon, the emphasis o production shifted to better floristry and gift items, often packed in wooden boxes. The black and white figurines of animal and human figures in particular testified to the very innovative character of Jaap Ravelli as an artist. The growing prosperity in the 1950s ensured a favorable climate where design and originality matched perfectly.  Ravelli's products were especially met with great popularity abroad in places such as Germany, Australia, England and the United States.  Potterie Ravelli's success in the 1950s did not go unnoticed.  His original products were soon copied by other companies, but without ever approaching the quality of the originals.  In the 1960s, the emphasis of production was more on vases and bowls, in particular the 'Incara' (a combination of Inca and Ra) and 'Birch Bark' pottery have left a lasting impression.  A little later came the 'Sang de Boeuf' and turquoise glazes. Among the last successful products to emerge from the factory were the "Keramobiles", hanging containers intended for plants, but these were also quickly copied, leading Ravelli to instead have the planters made in plastic.

The boom of post-war ceramic production in the Netherlands gradually came to an end in the 1960s, mainly as a result of fierce competition from abroad.  Potterie Ravelli also had a hard time and had to close its doors in 1977.  What was left behind was a fascinating history of three decades in which he had played a very important role in the field of design and home furnishings. It is not without reason that the Ravelli pottery has been very popular among collectors for years.

After closing his business, Jaap Ravelli still continued to make mostly unique ceramics for a long time. He died on April 1, 2011, at the age of 94

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.
