Quick question. Are the West German plant pots really common?

Some are as they're still made and sold in garden centres and suchlike.  I bought a pink one not too long ago, and my local DIY place has a wide range of them too.
Cheers!

I purchased an 806-17 just recently as I want a plant for my desk at work and wanted a decent plant pot. Look no further than West German of course! :)

I have been googling 'how to date West German pottery' but either I am having a completely blond moment or am just a dill. Probably a combo of both. The information seems convaluted to me and seems that you need a rocket science degree to do this. Can you date this stuff or is it impossible?

So here is new pot plant holder... ;D

Am going to buy the Mark Hill book in a few months as I want a few good West German pieces. This one is for my desk at work. Not sure if it is old but if it isn't, it does not matter. I like they look.  :beer:
