Dumler & Breiden

I dont collect D&B so cannot give info on this piece but the hand decoration caught my eye

D&B 692-50 weird but wonderful

Have this ashtray which I would like to ID if possible. Mark to underside can just be seen holding ashtray at particular angle. Reads 455 over 16 and GERMANY. All suggestions welcomed, thanks John

Decor polar 30cm high

Picked this up this D&B ewer/jug the other day. It's a pretty rare piece to come by in my neck of the woods. I'm pretty happy with it. It's a very nice contrast to all of the vases, pots etc that I have. I also like the chevrons/blocks pattern.

Anyway, just sharing.



and the bottom mark

Dumler and Breiden, Hohr-Grenzhausen, Germany

based on logo and style of writing on bottom.

Knowing nothing about Fat Lava / West German pottery and never having been particularly keen on it - I must say that I rather like this one.
Part of a job lot I picked up at auction (to get a piece of Celtic), I'm tempted to keep this - and I know who it's by

Height is 15.5cm





It seems to be the only example of this 'design' and shape on here so far. But I have found an example of others in the same range here
http://www.floh-jo.com/ceramics/pairs/pagina/c-pairs011.htm
As this is no longer a selling site and only for fererence now, I hope the mods don't mind me posting the link.

If anyone knows, I'd love to know the name of this range (if it has one) and any idea of age ?

This and one other I got (to be put in ID section), could possibly start me into collecting this stuff - or at least some of it.

Thanks for any info!

D&B, cat. about 1956, terra series ! came in 4 sizes, 15,20,25,31cm. I ´ve seen copies with the D&B mark.

Dumler & Breiden pitcher, ca. 1956. 10,5cm diameter by 29cm tall.

Dumler & Breiden vase from the 60's. 30cm tall

I don't usually find myself buying German ceramics, but I found myself drawn to the design on this D&B lamp base:

Today's find: Dumler & Breiden 118/30 vase. Marked Germany. Stamped with 32 (decorator perhaps). Sgraffito decoration.

Marked "Made in E Germany" in gold paint.  Stamped 213 22. (Ignore the black T, I think that was put there by the shop that I bought the bowl from)
Bowl is  10 cm high x 22 cm across.  Design looks like gold and copper mosaic tiles.

There's one on Google images attributed to Dumler and Breiden but I thought they were W. German.
