Otto Keramik Small Vase, Red and Black Glaze
Gin-For's Odditiques West and East German Pottery For Sale
(Cats and batteries not included.)
This is a known, though not common, Otto glaze, and the bottom has the felt typical of Otto, but I have not seen this shape before. It is, not surprisingly quite well done. The flattened opening gives it a mid century modern look, not quite a UFO form but a mix between UFO and traditional. Glaze isn't fat lava in my opinion but is slightly "thick", not fat, just a bit overweight.
Size: Height is about 5 1/4" with a diameter of about 3 1/2".
Price: $95 plus shipping and insurance.
Shipping will depend on location. Contact us for a quote.

Buying, Paying, and Such Things
You may notice that we don't have a checkout where you can just click for your goodies without so much as saying hello. Well, we want people to say hello, ask questions, even hope for a better deal. Long ago, I told stories for 7 hours (free refills on coffee), so "impersonal" just isn't my style. Click on one of those "E-mail" buttons. I can't handle as much coffee as I used to, so the stories will be fewer.
These days, Paypal is about the easiest payment method around, but we still take checks, even cash. No Monopoly money, nothing printed up in your basement, no chickens, etc., but otherwise we're fairly flexible. If we can put it in the bank without anyone getting in a tizzy, we'll probably take it.
Please take time to stroll through the site. Sorry we can't offer you a cup of coffee or tea while you're looking, but maybe you can take care of that yourself. Just don't spill it on the keyboard. And if you run into any questions along the way, there should be an e-mail link on every page, so just click and ask.
Hope you'll enjoy our "sing the body eclectic" approach (with apologies to Walt Whitman). As always, proceeds go to support our creditors, my spouse, our cats, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends.
