Pretty!

 

It is a little beauty

 

awesome thanks Aj...as it goes.....tea and biscuit time first

 

i'd love to find something Bauhaus (cause i've never been 100% certain what it is)

don't think this one applies...........but sounds like a good comapany anywho

 

There's this, if you didn't see it: https://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/germany/baden/schramberg-01/

 

no i didn't...thanks jpj.....haven't nailed down the exact age yet so will help

guessing i would think......hmmmm 1930s ish (but don't know why)

 

Lovely piece, seems hand-painted and that many marks should mean somethin' good !

 

Yes, it is a good company, and a very sweet vase. No Bauhaus though, too flowery and artisan.

Bauhaus ceramics are pretty much Art Deco of the linear style, often made up of 'primary' shapes like circles/spheres, triangles, squares.
It will look familiar to you.

Primary shape, spherical, attributed to Bauhaus designer Otto Lindig:

Dutch Bauhaus by Plateelbakkerij Zuid Holland. Variations on half and quarter spheres, with circular and square details. (love this):

what a wonder you are, thanks Aj............examples in pictures are about the best way for me to get my head around things

so once again......a marvellous help

 

Looking at the tea set AJ posted: I want that! I make tea in a microwave, but I want that anyway.

 

i came up with a blinder once when living with a broken cooker and only a microwave...............its the charlie cheese microwave melt......

step1.............toast 2 slices of bread (toaster)

add yer marg/butter and yer cheesero

then.....

stick in the microwave until the cheese melts (about 20-30 secs)

presto !!!! (come on guys give it a minute )

whats nice about it is because its toasted before, it doesn't go to floppy bread

......its goes kinda..............sticky chewy.......

 

In the old days, they made toasted/grilled cheese sammies on an ironing board. Wrap the sandwich in foil and place on ironing board. The clothes iron becomes your heat source. I'm not sure how good they were, but many a college kid survived that way before microwaves were common.

 

.....where theres a will theres a way !

 

we made toast on the stovetop grills.......... in university..
