ES (Emons und Söhne) Keramik

The third item I need identifying .....





Strange little handle ...

boa...

And finally,

A vase that is obviously by the same maker as the conical vase/jug in my previous thread ..





I'm afraid the numbers are not easily read.

Any info on the four items that I have posted will be appreciated and may I take the opportunity to thank you in advance for any assistance in identifying these items.

boa.....

ES stands for Emons und Söhne. The company was founded 1921 in Rheinbach. Closed appr. 1974

No marks at all

673/18

ES made a whole series of this rock-shaped vases

Difficult to make out the exact mark - base to handle tip is 23cm

Got a pair of these. First one bought from Switzerland just 'cos I loved the fatness of the glaze but no label and glaze on base meant apparently no marks at all. Got this one last year from Germany with the ES label on it and had apparently been in their shop since new (whenever that was?!?). Label is gold with black crown at top and lettering reading Keramik ES. Inner has some of the blue and white lava overflowing at the top onto shiny black inner glaze. Base has black grainy glaze doing its best to obscure the form number which could be stamp or hand inscribed (best I could do with the image sorry). No other mark that I can see. Bright white clay.

Another of my favourites for its tactile nature and organic almost lifelike (or stone like) glaze.

Unmarked but probably 840-28.

Unmarked planter

626-16

818-20

I think these are ES Keramik. Not 100% sure. Matched pair of vases form 611/12.  Probably from the 50s or early 60s based on the design.  West Germany stamped in purple.  Decorator's mark as well (S?)

True,  ES catalog page with 611/10 and 611/12, this copy 1950s i think.

White clay body. Blue glaze with yellow/green splatter.
Unmarked.
60s-70s Germany?

Could you describe it as a crystalline glaze Naomi?

I have seen ones like this before, they were made in the 1980's and were splattered with glaze and not crystalline

Cheers Dan. Yes, it's a splatter. There are rivulets down the inside of the rim.

OMG this thread has descended into a 1980s Danish porn flic!
