W.-Germany Terracotta Bowl

Hello-- Any help this bowl is greatly appreciated. I think it is mid-century. It is terracotta and the marking read: 1075-31 or perhaps 4075-31. Pictures for your review.
Thanks in advance.

Please forgive me for not including dimensions...they are: 11.75 inches in diameter and almost 2.5 inches deep.

I'm enjoying reading others posts and seeing everyone's detective work. very impressive.

Hi there - welcome to the forum :-)

Your bowl is definitely 1950s production but I'm not sure which factory - I'm sure another member will be along with some suggestions.

From another post, I saw that it may be Carstens...then some google research found this vase:

so, yes, I think mid-century Carstens. But, I am not finding much information about this factory online.

Thanks again for taking a look.

What further information about Carstens are you looking for?

Looks like a Scheurich Europ Linie to me.

As Scheurich only used white clay , it looks like carstens to me
