Zell (Schmider)

A statuesque 23cms tall this lovely lady seeks flowers for her baskets



and the reverse



and the base with white stamp starting to fade a little

This 20cms high beauty is my pride and joy. I was so surprised to see this as it looks like Tigris but freeform in black and background multicoloured. Inside glazed white/cream (depending on the light!) If you've got any others like it I would love to see them.



and the reverse



and the base which has a browny black stamp of 'Made in Western Germany' and 1791 stamped underneath (form no. stands out)

Love this one and looks quite different to the 3970 with the grasses decor posted earlier. Base has form number,white stamp of Made in Western Germany and impressed letter either Y or V and what I think is an impressed + but very small so can't really see it properly. 21cms high.



BTW, the base is clean but for some reason looks very mucky, scratched and or damaged in this pic but is absolutely fine. Must be the light reflection and enlarging it thats done it.

Unlike all my others this has a smoothly textured feel to the glaze/body. Base has raised form number 4049, browny black stamp Made in Western Germany, stamp impression of TY and stamped browny black numbers 1820. 19cms high to tallest point.

I'm sure someone will instantly recognise this striking hand painted black and golden yellow 'tiger stripe' design.
I've had this pair of 10cm vases for a few years, and bought them for the lovely pattern, rather that the slightly unexciting body shape, plus they're a pair in mint condition! ^_^
I've never been able to identify who the maker is (there's a cat with the same pattern/colourway in one of my Miller's guides, but no other info than 'German' DX).
The base says 'MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY', and '3589'.





Any info greatly appreciated! :D

Hi. This stick is 8" high and 4 1/2"across the base. Thanks.

Sory, here are the pics.

I have found this one in an old porcelain handbook of mine , it reads
ZELL(baden)
George Schmider 1820-
Hard Paste porcelain, the full mark is G Z S inside a teacup shape, the LL on your piece is the last part of Zell, the EN is the last part of Baden .

Tigris

I found this lovely decorative fish vase in a second hand store a few years ago.
And around the same time I saw an elephant (bowl) with the same decor of colourful spots in the window of another. So I assume this pattern was made on a series of different items.
As quite often, on german pottery/porcelain there is no maker's name stamped on the bottom base.
Only a number saying 4146 and printed text: made in Western Germany.





So do any of you know who made this?

I would love to have a makers name so I can find more matching pieces...

Thanks in advance

Schmider, Zell, 4146 ca.1956/57, design A.Beckh (form + decor) ?

Vase in form of lady in 50s style black and white - marked Made in West Germany to base - any ideas on maker/date - I have not really come across these before.

Thanks Adam

Aha, many thanks
The number looked German, and it does look very like the Zell majolica plates.

African lady holding vase - in black, yellow and white - quite jazzy - 4188 to base, 5" high, have similar that are W German but not sure about this one, any help appreciated.

Thanks Adam

I agree, ad with Tigris 1956/57, prior to the Hannover fair April 1957

I bought this today at a thriftshop, here in the Netherlands. Can't figure out where it's being made. Is there anybody who knows more with the following details?
Height of sugar and milk pots is 7 cm. Length of the plate roundabout 20 cm. Depth: 12 cm. White clay.
Sugarpot has nr 4555, milkpot 4553, plate (is that the right word to use, btw?) 3011.
Katrina handgemalt, it says.

Schmider Keramik, Zell am Harmersbach, Germany

Katrin was the decor name.
