Good morning members,
(I am new here and hope to be able to research and contribute where I can).

For your consideration is a Dieter Kunzemann slipware dinner set in sgraffito. It features an appealing pale blue glaze. Bases are stamped 'DK'. I've attempted to research the set but have found very little, mainly relating to single items such as plates, jugs and the like created under the Coldswood and later Evenlode name. The set is large making it I feel unusual. Are any members of the forum aware of similar sized sets, or has anyone archival material of similar sets as having been sold by Kunzemann?

The set includes the following pieces of the same style:
Cups and Saucers, Jugs of various sizes, Dinner plates, Dinner bowls, Pudding bowls, Serving dishes.
I've not counted as yet, but have provided photos below as a conversation starter.

Hope to hear from members soon.
Luigi
(I can only upload 3 photos, I have more if people require I can post separately)

It’s not a design I’ve come across before. It may have been a special commission for a large family, or even a hotel or restaurant

I would agree with Naomi. It would have been a special commission. Very different from the normal 'wheatsheaf style. No potter would take the risk of not being able to sell a massive large lot of pieces like that, without a very specific order.

Hi Naomi and Philpot, thanks for the response which makes alot of sense. These items came from my godfather who was always hosting dinner parties and had commissioned many wonderful things to have been made for him, I'd like to think perhaps he commissioned Dieter to create this set for him.

Hi Carol, please see additional photos, including the mark.

Have a good evening all and thanks for your help!

The sgraffito style reminds ne vey much of Lucie Rie's style in he warly 1960's. I wonder if this was an attempt to represent it? Look at the Rie pieces on out Lucie Rie thread

Especially the photos I took of the Fine collection in the Lisa Sainsbury museum in Norwich.
