Another of my favourites this beautiful bottle vase. Has Karlsruher mark and form 7826 on on brown glazed base reddy clay. 25(ish) cms tall.

you have fantastic pots. How long have you been collecting?

Thank you very much Narcissus. I had my first lava vase (Scheurich not fat lava) in 1979. I've always collected things as has my husband - our friends call us magpies! With a few notable exceptions e.g. Schmider, Karlsruher, I have not deliberately collected any specific pots or bits but tend to buy what I like if its a reasonable price. Unfortunately this often precludes me buying the more expensive items like Roth and many Shaffenacker are now out of my reach but I still keep trying! I've also been collecting ceramic ashtrays since I was a child as I grew up in pubs and the salesmen would often be giving away attractive or weirdly wonderful ashtrays that advertised their alcohol or tobacco products. In recent years I've collected quite a few German made ashtrays too. I've also got quite a few of the Water jugs that were made for the same purpose as the ashtrays. My prized ashytrays are a Beswick made Babycham ashtray from the 60s/early 70s and the most exspensive one I've ever bought which is a Carltonware red Haig whiskey ashtray (numbered and dated) from I think the 30s but not to hand at the moment to check. I've also got two red Haig whiskey water jugs each from a different period. Mind you, they're not beautiful in the same way as the Karlsruher above!
