Title: Otto Keramik
Post by: ginfor on September 28, 2007, 11:02:06 PM

Some of the Otto Keramik labels are plain paper, not foil.  They look like they may have been done on a typewriter, appearing rather like fortune cookie inserts.  Sadly, these don't tend to  stay on very well.

Underneath the felt, Otto Keramik bottoms have a white clay and flat base, just in case you come across one without the felt.  I had a marvelous vase several years ago and spent a great deal of time and effort removing that felt to check for a mark since this was before I knew Otto Keramik existed, much less how to identify it.  Talk about a vase I'd like to have back.  It was 10 or 12" tall. You can see it and an uncovered bottom at:

Also, check out the Otto Keramik purple glaze below that one.  Meanwhile, I have to go in and correct some misattributions since I haven't updated those pages in a while.  Otherwise, Kevin will start making fun of me.
