Volker (vhb64) has been a great help this far on coming as close as possible to an ID on several vases of mine. But we both still don't know the exact details of which company was producing certain pots and vases. Sgraffito-land might be still an unknown area in German pottery (and Volker is our Livingstone ;-)).
So I thought it might be useful to show all vases I can come across on this subject. Maybe somebody remembers something else which already has an ID.
Here's my last found:

Please add comments if you know something similar with ID.

the only sgraffito terracotta type German pots i know of (and admittedly, my knowledge of German pots is VERY limited) are by Wormser terra sigilatta.

No, no, you shouldn't. Every bit of information is welcome. Suppose you came across something I didn't know, but you have an ID on it... Or maybe vaguely...

May be, but if you google "Eiwa vase" you will see that there also was a german pottery company with this name :-)

The decoration on the side of the pot might be the Tree of Souls ...

That means that there are three 'Trees of Souls' on the vase. But what are these trees of souls? What does it symbolize? And which culture does it refer to?

Could well be. Its decoration has some similarities with some other Eiwa vases I have:

https://www.20thcenturyforum.com/t10542-eiwa-keramik

And it has no marking either, also just like the others.
The main decoration (Tree of Souls) is different though.

I feel the same way about WGP but quite often I come up with the answer to an id request immediately but remain silent waiting for our experts to come up with the same answer.
Many of the forum regulars have read hundreds if not thousands of WGP posts and know far more than they realise
