BAY ceramic mark guide:

Facts: a white clay was used, mostly signed with moulded numbers. Their pieces are often signed with Bay.

They had a wide range of forms and glazes. The most famous designer was Bodo Manns.

Please note: you can not identify all pieces with their base marks, rather with their glazes or form-numbers. Collecting west german ceramics of the 1960/70s fat lava era is still a mostly uncovered collecting field with many, many sided secrets.

This mark gallery is still under construction! I would like to put in more and bigger pictures but you can only add 10 of them in this small size.

So i am going to write a guide about every popular manufacturer, in the next weeks.
