Base

White clay was almost always used. Numbers and text is always incised. A range of base markings were used which can make identification problematic.

Many items have only a form number and size in cm separated by a “/” and no other information (in some rare cases only a space is used). In some cases a quite distinctive, almost had written font is used.

Some items were marked “W GERMANY” with the separation usually being “.-” however some used just “.”

       

On occasion items were marked “MADE IN GERMANY” which is quite an unusual (but not unique) base mark.

Sometimes the base is marked “STEIN KERAMIK”.
