I contacted Outernational a while back as I was having a few problems with two possible West-German items, that's not something I would normally do as I like doing research into pottery etc.
Anyway, I got a nice polite reply from them which I appreciated.
1. They suspected, but weren't sure, that this lamp base might be by Jopeko or by a Dutch maker called Marius Van Woerden.
2. This next piece they definetly thought was from a German factory named Schlossberg.
They said that the green windows makes this vase rare and it's something that they have never seen before. ;D

I picked these two up a while after.
3-4. This one is by Jopeko and has the original label, It's lovely in a sort of hideous way, lol. I saw one on ebay the other day and it sold for around £8-10.

5. Oh dear, I picked this one up and the handle dropped off completely. It's no more. Shame, because I was having difficulty finding this one anywhere.
It's so often the case with these West-German vases, they have cracks in them that arean't easy to spot. Flick a finger on these and it still doesn't give any clues as it sounds the same, cracked or not.

Here are some more photo's of the bases. The first one is of the lamp base. The second one is the jug that got broken.

Here's one that I had great difficulty identifying but I think it was made by Dumler & Breiden. It has no marks.

I've had a closer look and it does have a slight wobble in the centre of the base (don't we all).
