Topic: Help in identity of art pottery vase, marked Keramics pottery

[davidfish1212]

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you could shed any light on this fab vase I bought at the weekend. It stands 8.25" tall and is clearly marked Keramics pottery on the base and is complete with a gallery sticker. Is this an old vase? does anyone know where it was made?
I have tried googling the name but it only shows a selection of fat lava vases (i have found out that Keramic seems to be German for ceramics so maybe German origin)
Help please anyone
cheers, David

Rather than Keramics, I'm wondering if this says Keramos, as in Keramos Pottery. Their website doesn't have any examples of their work or mark, but the description says, "Keramos Pottery is a producer of creative, handmade stoneware in Bulua, Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. It uses traditional German technology and German clay. ... The founder of Keramos is Dietrich Kleinschmidt of East Germany." There is an email address on the website, so it might be worth dropping them a line with some photos and asking if it's one of their. http://keramos.elizaga.net/ - let us know how you get on.

Hi Anne,
I'm pretty sure it is keramics pottery, but just to confirm, I contacted keramos and they confirmed it wasn't one of there vases. The mystery continues! I have now spent hours trawling through google images at thousands of german vases and have nothing remotely similar, the fact that pottery is in English could point to the uk as a maker but again I have found nothing to go on
Cheers, David
