Title: Bay Keramik planter
Post by: Anne E.B. on April 15, 2008, 08:36:27 PM

Any ideas how old this planter is please?  Just bought it the other day for 50p along with a flowering plant and didn't realise the flowers were artificial?  Fortunately the pot is real!

Is there a form number on the base?

The label dates your planter to 1970-1980, nice one. Thanks Bas (Orpheous) http://www.westgermany-ceramics-collectables.com/ (http://www.westgermany-ceramics-collectables.com/)

Many thanks Christine and Baz too ;).  I omitted to say that there were no visible markings on the base.

yes, thanks Bas for this info (lovely site!) - I've got a similar planter too - have stuck an african violet in it. I'm using my W. German stuff!

I've got a couple of nice planters I use for narcissusses (funny word) and hyacinths. And in a beautiful yellow roth a orchid is blooming.

Narcissi?

My dictionary says either is valid but Narcissi sounds better IMHO  ;)
