West German Bay Keramik Pitcher with stylised floral designs, late C20th
A brown glaze pitcher of broad bulbous form with a slender neck flaring at the top and a loop handle above a short foot, the base glazed and with impressed marks ‘Bay’ ‘W Germany’ ’6190’.The brown, almost lustre like, glaze is decorative with a lightly incised design in mustard enamel with stylised leaves and flower heads.Founded by Eduard Bay in the 1930s and based in Ransbach Baumbach in the heart of the main West German pottery producing region, Bay Keramik grew to be one of the most prolific producers of ceramics in the ‘West German’ style and continued production into the 1990s. This piece retains its original paper label and the format of this allows dating to the 1970s/1980s. The jug has almost a slightly rustic feel and recalls much earlier German ceramic items. The numbers on the base indicate the form number but it has not been possible to identify this.
