A burnished terra sigillata foal figurine produced by Wormser Terra Sigillata GmbH and likely designed by Kurt Langner.
WORMSER TERRA SIGILLATA GMBH began production in the late 1940s in the city of Worms, Germany, although the groundwork had been laid much earlier. The Worms ceramicist Jean Kling (1878-1946) was so fascinated by Roman terra sigillata that he tried in several years of research and experimentation to produce a similar ceramic. In 1937 he finally applied for a patent for a "process for the production of pottery with a velvet-like sheen with the appearance of Terra Sigillata". In order to get production going, he transferred the rights for commercial use to the city of Worms in 1941, which in return undertook to build a corresponding factory. For the time being, however, this was prevented by the war, and Kling subsequently died in 1946, insuring that the method he developed in his lifetime could not get beyond the experimental stage. in 1946, armed with Jean Kling's original patent, the city engaged the ceramicist Willi Jizba from the state technical school in Teplitz-Schönau as technical operations manager for the construction of the factory. Ernst Baumrucker and Adolf Hausmann were added two years later as specialists in design and sgraffito decoration. The Terra Sigillata Manufacturing Company, which was affiliated with the City of Worms and headed by its director Dr. Friedrich M. Illert, began production in earnest in 1949. The following year, the company was taken over by Willil Jizba and transferred to private ownership under the name "Wormser Terra -Sigillata Manufaktur"
The production program initially comprised decorative ceramic objects which were based on Roman models. Utility ceramics were added later and the range of decorative ceramics was expanded to include wall plates, wall masks and figurative objects. Most of the early designs came from Adolf Hausmann, and later from Kurt Langner. Langner trained at the arts and crafts school and the technical college for ceramics in Eisenach, as well as studying sculpture at the art college in Weimar. In addition, Willi Jizba managed to employee his former teacher, Prof. Hans Lifka, as a freelance designer. Hans Lifka was a student of Michael Polwony and held a professorship at the German State Institute for Ceramics and Related Applied Arts in Teplitz-Schönau from 1930 to 1945.
A special feature of the Wormser production range were the ornamental objects created from 1950 onwards with burnished surfaces and often beautiful sgraffito decors. In 1952, the workshop staged a joint exhibition at the Hannover Trade Fair along with the company Silberdistel, and led all of the other companies at the Fair. As a result of this favorable reception and sales development, the company was able to expand considerably in 1955. In contrast to the industry practice of regularly retiring shapes and decors, the models at the Wormser factory remained in the collection for quite a long time, and were sold through specialist retailers.
In 1980 the company was restructured under the successor of Willi Jizba, Volker Jizba. It was now called "Wormser Keramik GmbH". In 1989 the company headquarters was relocated to Oppenheim and the production of the company's own ceramics was stopped almost entirely. Instead, tea sets and utensils were purchased as raw materials and production was limited to decorating them only. Business activity shifted to the specialist trade in ceramics and tea services The production of the company's signature Terra Sigillata pottery had long since stopped due to a lack of demand. Though greatly diminished from its former place in the market, the company does still exists today in Oppenheim, Germany..
TERRA SIGILLATA is a term that describes a certain kind of red-glazed, stamped pottery from the Roman Empire, which originated in Arezzo. Usually roughly translated as 'sealed earth', the meaning of 'terra sigillata' is 'clay bearing little images' (Latin sigilla), not 'clay with a sealed (impervious) surface'. The archaeological term is applied, however, to plain-surfaced pots as well as those decorated with figures in relief. With the expansion of the Roman Empire, it was gradually produced throughout Italy and also in the provinces. You can find terra sigillata pottery everywhere the Romans left their mark.

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟
This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens.
The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him.
I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure.
My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times.
Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️
I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well.
Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on.
Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc?
However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy.
Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book.

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book.
I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days.
To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness.
The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted.
This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark.
Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done
