The first number is the form number, it's probably a 4 not a Y. the second number is the height 11 cm. The green feet seem to be original, so don't take them off. Silberdistel formed in 1947, but i would guess from the glaze yours is perhaps 1970s

yes i was thinking 70s because the style and mottled effect was prevalent at the time,its a good job i saw the green pads on the one you directed me too as i thought they had been added later and i may have taken them off! thanks again  Lynn
