This is, in my opinion, a really lovely piece of retro pottery.  At first glance it has a very Italian 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. 

SIZE:  Height 5.5in/14cm  Weight 384g

CONDITION: Great original condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines.  There is some wear and scuffing to the matt brown textured section on the back and base - see photographs.

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'. 

SIZE:  Height 10in/25.5cm   Weight 1112g

CONDITION:  Lovely original condition - no hairlines or chips other than a couple of shallow glaze chips to the rim - shown much magnified in the photographs and reflected in the price.

This is another decorative piece - in a lovely retro shape with a curvy handle to one side and a round bulbous body, this shape known as a Krug vase.  With an oatmeal speckled ground and hand painted with large splashy brown leaves and black stems this is quite an unusual piece of West German pottery - we really like this one, it looks fantastic on display. Fully marked to the base with 'Scheurich-KERAMIK W.GERMANY 496-28'.

CONDITION:  Brilliant original condition - no chips, cracks or hairlines.
