Dumler & Breiden

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

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!

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.
