secessionist?

Post by bistoboy on Thu Nov 05, 2009 5:48 pm

hi all, i recently bought this group of pots which i think are German or Austrian and possible of the seccessionist period? Does anyone recognise the style and can give me a date,country, manufacturer.? thanks.

The mark under the bowl is an impressed 8124 with the roman numerals II
The mark under the tall bullet shaped vase is 6042
The mark under the two handled vase is 7815 . and the Roman numeral III - this vase is more lustrous than the others. All have areas decorated with a dark bronze colour and the main body looks like it's painted to resemble marble.

they are quite crudely manufactured which makes me think German

Well, a learned friend has put a name to them for me - Ditmar Urbach, a checheslovakian/Austrian company - from circa 1920
