Title: German Vase - Manufacturer?
Post by: tedj on July 02, 2012, 05:41:35 PM

Trying to identify manufacturer and period of manufacture for the attached vase.  Made from dark clay(reddish) like Roth, marked simply germany like B & D, with number 516 nothing else.  Seems to be drip glaze with gilded lip.  any ideas?

Hi and welcome to the board. :) Your pic's a little fuzzy, we could perhaps do with a sharper one, and a  clear closeup shot of the base too if possible.
