This is, in my opinion, a really lovely piece of retro pottery.  At first glance it has a very Italian (Fantoni, Gambone) look about it with the high gloss red and white glazed pattern to the front and the fabulous retro texturing to the brown section on the back.  It is in actual fact Spanish, stamped to the base with 'Cases, Hand Made in Spain' - I've not been able to find out anything about the company Cases yet so can't elaborate further.  But I'd estimate this dates from the 1960's or thereabouts and is a very striking display piece.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Another extremely decorative piece of retro West German pottery from Bay Keramik dating from the 1960s or thereabouts.  This is quite a small vase at just under 6 inches in height but decorated with a fabulous bumpy design and glazed in a warm brown to the neck and a glossy green elsewhere.  Fully marked to the base with 'Bay W-Germany 64 14'.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Here is a large piece of retro West German pottery from Carstens Tonnieshof from the 1960s or thereabouts.  In a great retro shape and decorated with brown and orange glazes it's a seriously funky pot that sits very nicely with other German or Italian pieces (Bay, Scheurich, Bitossi Raymor for example).  Still bearing it's original foil label and marked to the base with the TC logo of two houses and '7836-25 W-GERMANY'.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

The Findhorn Studios in Scotland, established in 1971 and still in production today, are well-known for their beautiful glazed stoneware.  This particular piece is extremely elegant yet also charmingly rustic - with it's simple shape and fantastic drippy glazes -  a stylish and subtle combination of brown, oatmeal and grey shades.  Still bearing it's original Findhorn Studios paper label to the base, I'd suggest this was probably an early piece.  This looks lovely on display on it's own but would also be a great addition to any studio pottery collection.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

It is a nice and rather large piece with an oatmeal coloured ground and hand painted stylised leaves and banding in brown and green.  Marked to the base with the circular stamp saying 'CINQUE PORTS POTTERY LTD, THE MONASTERY, RYE'.  A lovely piece of retro British studio pottery.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
