Bay Ceramics Signed Original Piece

This item is a piece of glazed pottery from Bay Ceramics, a well-known West German manufacturer active during the mid-20th century. The photograph displays the underside or base of the object, which features a semi-matte cream or off-white glaze with subtle surface texture and minor manufacturing pinholes. The primary identification feature is a distinctive oval silver-toned foil label. The label contains a stylized mountain or 'B' logo, the text 'CERAMICS', and the phrase 'A Signed Original'. The presence of this label suggests a production period likely between the 1950s and 1970s, a timeframe when Bay Keramik was a major player in the 'Fat Lava' and mid-century modern ceramic movement. Additionally, there is a secondary paper tag partially visible on the left edge with printed text including 'tz' and 'WO', which may represent a retailer tag or price sticker. The surface shows light signs of shelf wear and minor age-related discoloration on the labels, but the ceramic body appears structurally sound with no visible cracks or significant chips in the frame shown. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced European art pottery of the era, focusing on sleek forms and durable finishes.
