Title: Jug /vase with incised pattern and GERMANY stamp - ID = AKKO Krinkel Keramik
Post by: Chris Harrison on April 07, 2008, 02:19:32 PM
Anyone have any ideas about this one?

Red clay, white slip, brown top coat lightly brushed on and incised to reveal the white slip.

Impressed marks on base: 235/16 and GERMANY inside an oval.  I imagine that the 10/- in pencil was the original price.

I like it a lot, but have no idea who made it.  I'd guess it's pre-Berlin-Wall, but that's all.

It's a lovely piece and I would guess pre-War because it just says Germany

Oops you said that...

Hello
Yes, I have come across this particular pattern and mark before in jugs and large vases and bowl. They were produced also in a dark green colour. As you probably know, 235 is the shape number and 16 is the height of the item in centimetres.

If I were to take a guess I might say Sawa would be worth investigating, other possibilities are Eiwa and Wekara

Ta, Christine. I know what  you mean.

This one has me interested:

The numbers are obviously pressed in using a carpenter's number stamps.

Two other suggestions I've had are Spara and Kotem.  However all the Spara I've seen has had white clay, and I've never heard of Kotem!

I have it on very good authority that this jug is AKKO Krinkel Keramik, which was the earlier name of Wekara. Thank you Kevin Graham

A-ha!  This would back up the Wekara attribution (hope you have good Polish)

The Polish is German  :24: and yours is older, note the W. Germany. Kev wouldn't have given me the answer if he wasn't 100% sure

Ach, scheisse! Ich hatte nur den obenen Text bemerkt! (I did German A-level, I did!). Sometimes I just absorb info without realising what language sthg is in!  I just meant it was on Polish eBay.

I do believe you (and Kev), really!  I just meant that the Wekara vase base was of the same style. Red clay; stamped, incised numbers, etc.
Seriously happy, cos this one had me beat. :kissy:
