Sorry, it´s a BAY vase, decor "Saale" (a German river), 1966

Not convinced ? cf. M.P.Thomas. Deutsche Keramik, p.115, #323 (Bay vase 624-45 with identical glaze)

Bay, 267-20, decor "Saale" (a German river), 1966

Bay Vase in blue with red prunts - quite tactile

I'm looking for some help on a Bay Keramik Piggy Bank I have I can't find any information on it. The only thing I see is vases and pitchers.. But it does say Bay w-germany 507 25 on the bottom of the pig.
thanks Vicky

Hi Vicky!

I don't think that you will find closer information about Bay piggy banks (never heard of before that they produced them), but who knows...

Pics would help :-)

A friend at work helped me with pictures. They are on the Bay Keramik forum also.

Thanks Vicky

Hi Vicky!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing the pics!

Your welcome

Vicky

I did post pictures but they're not showing up. I'll try again.

rare Bay with sticker (1954/66),
decor "Valencia", 1960

The design is not typical of Bay.

I am guessing that is from Bay but can find no trace anywhere. Any thoughts please on possible date (1970s?) and confirmation of maker if possible. Thanks John

I have no idea who made the small green one at the front....can anyone help please?
Ive never seen this pattern and would love to see and know more.... Is it Carstens?? thank you!

I would like to recommend Horst Makus, Keramik der 50er Jahre in German though.
The book is limited to WGP of 1950s until c.1962.
Wouldn´t help you with Bay, D&B etc. of the 1970s.

There are other books / CDs in German and English language, useful for beginners and more advanced collectors as well but i wouldn´t recommend them. Too many mistakes. You could read there e.g. that Bay stopped the production of decorative ceramics in 1971. A serious mistake.
I can prove that this line of production was still alive and well in the 1980s.

who wrote the book with the mistakes please? and also the CDs,I wouldn't want to waste my money on such misleading information

Thanks for that.
Bit of a problem given that I don't speak (or read) German though.

I'll wait for your answer to Dantheman to see which of the English ones NOT to buy :o)

Has anyone seen another like this? Im dying to see another one?
