Once upon a time in the quirky world of yesteryear, there lived a man named Hugo Gernsback, or as we like to call him, the grand poobah of sci-fi sass. Born with the slightly less sci-fi-sounding name Hugo Gernsbacher, this Luxembourgish-American dynamo strutted into the scene on August 16, 1884, and the universe of science fiction has never been the same since. Picture this: a dapper chap with dreams bigger than Jupiter decides to venture across the pond and make the U.S. his playground in 1904. He wasn't just any ordinary expat; he became a citizen, because why not? But that's not the best part.

What also happened at the end of the 19th century was the invention of phanolith, the porcelain prodigy that's like the love child of jasperware (that British Wedgwood ceramics that I'm so obsessed with, y'all!🤩) and pâte-sur-pâte. Picture this: a semi-transparent marvel that embodies the best of both worlds. Jasperware stands as a distinctive type of pottery with its roots tracing back to the ingenious craftsmanship of Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s. Categorized typically as stoneware, this pottery boasts an unglazed matte "biscuit" finish, lending it a unique and refined appearance. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!
