From a blog http://www.hoehr-grenzhausen.de/index.php?page=aktuelles-2:

23.09.2010 Stadt.Schau.Fenster in der Rathausstraße 22 präsentiert Elfriede Balzar-Kopp
Seit vergangener Woche wird im Stadt.Schau.Fenster in der Rathausstraße 22 in Höhr-Grenzhausen im Rahmen der Wechselausstellung "Künsterlische Gestalter in unserer Stadt - Eine Retrospektive" die erste deutsche Töpfermeisterin Elfriede Balzar-Kopp vorgestellt.

Die 1904 in Bendorf am Rhein geborene Elfriede Kopp studierte in den Jahren 1924 bis 1927 an der staatlichen Ingenieur- und Werkschule für Keramik und der staatlichen Majolika-Manufaktur in Karlsruhe.
Bereits mit 23 Jahren gründete Elfriede Balzar-Kopp ihre eigene Werkstatt in Höhr-Grenzhausen. Sie fertigte fortan handwerklich Krüge, Kannen, Teller und Gefäße, die unabhängig von der Industrieware einen eigenen Stil bzw. eine eigene Technik aufwiesen. So entdeckte Elfriede Balzar-Kopp die Redtechnik in Form von schwungvollen Ritzzeichnungen in den Gefäßwandungen neu.

Während ihrer Schaffensphase blieb Elfriede Balzar-Kopp ihrer Red- und altechnik stets treu, ihr Dekorationsstil hingegen wandelte sich ständig und passte sich dem Geschmack des jeweiligen Jahrzehnts an.

Für das Stadt.Schau.Fenster in der Rathausstraße 22 stellte uns die Tochter von Elfriede Balzar-Kopp, Frau Marianne Popp, freundlicherweise die Ausstellungsgegenstände zur Verfügung und unterstütze auch die Werkstatt Gestaltung sowie das Quartiersmanagement Höhr bei der Schaufenstergestaltung.

Weitere Exponate der Künstlerin Elfriede Balzar-Kopp zeigt das Keramikmuseum Westerwald, Lindenstraße 13 in Höhr-Grenzhausen.

Google translation:

Since last week, is in Stadt.Schau.Fenster in Rathausstrasse 22 in Höhr-Grenzhausen as part of the temporary exhibition "Künster Metallic designers in our city - A Retrospective" presented the first German champion potter Elfriede Balzar-Kopp.

The Born in 1904, in Bendorf am Rhein Elfriede Kopp studied in the years 1924 to 1927 onwards of state engineer-and factory school for ceramic and of state Majolika-Manufaktur in Karlsruhe.
Already with 23 years founded Elfriede Balzar-Kopp their own workshop in Höhr-Grenzhausen . It manufactured henceforth artisanal tankards, pots, Teller and vessels, which independent of the industrial grade product exhibited a own style or an own technique. They discovered Elfriede Balzar-Kopp Redtechnik the new in the form of bold carvings in the vessel walls.

During their period of creativity Elfriede Balzar-Kopp remained their Red and altechnik always faithful, her decorating style changed, however, and are constantly adapting to the tastes of the decade.

Looks German to me too. Westerwald, Kopp, etc. The deer is a common motif.

Similar one on ebay (completed listing) listed as Large Stoneware Salt-glazed, birds decorated Vase, Balzar-Kopp, Germany ca. 1960, numbered on base 103/30. Seems the number on the bottom of yours is 103/?

Also see thread on Geharz Und Mann’s stoneware

Coming back to this bear after finding my fox a few weeks ago. Unfortunately your photos have disappeared but you might want to check if it's the same signature.

these Westerwald pieces are extremely difficult to id unless they are marked by a recognised maker so you're probably better off with a Frigidaire

Hi,
I have acquired this young lady & have attempted to find out about her. The nearest I can find is Elfriede Balzar- Kopp.  Would anyone know if this is correct or tell me otherwise. Thank you for any replies.

I have a fox which is signed.

Certainly looks like Westerwald stoneware but I’m not sure you could say with any certainty if it’s by her unless there’s a signature.
