Bay Keramik

Bay 71-35 with runic pattern and original label (Potter's Master Collection). Most of the labels were scratched off.

I bought this dish on eBay for 99p a couple of years ago. It is a typical 1950s pale green (eur de nil?) has a textured surface achieved by splattering a slightly darker pale green all over. Stripes in black, dark red & yellow. Cane wrapped handle. Embossed West Germany 926 (I think) on the base. Approx 26cm long, 13cm at widest point. Anyone recognise the maker? Is it 1950s or later? Is it possibly rare?

Thanks both. So we think it is Bay, 1950s and not particularly rare. Has Bay been in existence since the 1950s? What sorts of ware did they produce in the 1950s - before the emergence of "fat lava" pots in the 1960s?

founded 1933,
1950´s production vases, vases, vases, handpainted decors and drip glazes, 500 range 1st generation until 1959
handled vases 500 range, after 1954 200 range
wall vases 300 range
bowls of course, 400 and 900 range,
your bowl #926 post 1956 as for the marking WEST-GERMANY
ash-trays 700 range
Haver i forgotten something ?
yes, a few lidded boxes 200 range

bowl #926 traceable 1958 , sadly only on black and white pictures,
offered with modern non-objective pattern "Santos" and "Nizza"
the decor of your bowl could be "Nizza", not sure though.

Thanks for posting. Bay for sure. Markings as expected.
I see you have loads of them. May i ask you to post
more data / pics for further research. (You could also send me a PM)

Quote from the Wikipedia article "hoards"
"hoards provide a useful method of providing dates for artifacts through association as they can usually be assumed to be contemporary and therefore used in creating chronologies."

Thanks
