German Pottery Pitchers For Sale on 1stDibs
An assortment of German pottery pitchers is available at 1stDibs. Each of these unique German pottery pitchers was constructed with extraordinary care, often using ceramic, pottery and clay. German pottery pitchers have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. German pottery pitchers are generally popular furniture pieces, but mid-century modern and Art Deco styles are often sought at 1stDibs. German pottery pitchers have been a part of the life’s work for many furniture makers, but those produced by West German Pottery, Scheurich Keramik and Steuler are consistently popular.
How Much are German Pottery Pitchers?
Prices for German pottery pitchers can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, German pottery pitchers begin at $125 and can go as high as $2,950, while the average can fetch as much as $475.
Finding the Right Serveware, Ceramics, Silver And Glass for You
Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?
Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.
Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.
“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”
Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.
At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
Questions About German Pottery Pitchers
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify German pottery, look over the base or interior for the maker's markings. Many pieces will bear some type of stamp, sticker or other marking, which you can research using trusted online resources to learn who made them. From there, you can read about the maker to determine if the company or artisan is German. Some well-known German makers include Hutschenreuther, Meissen, Arzberg, Fürstenberg, Nymphenburg, Gmundner Keramik, Royal Porcelain Manufacture Berlin, Kahla and Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur. If you can't find any maker's markings, consider having a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you. Find a wide variety of German pottery on 1stDibs.
- What is German pottery called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024What German pottery is called depends on its style. Pieces with embossed surfaces and thick, chunky glaze produced in West Germany are nicknamed "Fat Lava." Hard-paste porcelain produced in Germany is sometimes referred to as Meissen or Dresden porcelain, depending on its manufacturer. Early 20th-century pieces that show off naturalistic motifs inspired by the Art Nouveau movement may be called Jugendstil pottery. Shop a large collection of German pottery on 1stDibs.
- How can you tell German pottery?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell German pottery, look on the bottom or inside for a maker's marking. Using trusted online resources, you can then research the marking and identify both the maker and the country in which it operates or operated. Some well-known makers of German pottery include Villeroy & Boch, Meissen, Dresdner Porzellan, Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur, Rosenthal, Fuerstenberg, Nymphenburg, Wallendorfer, Scheurich and ES Keramik. Explore a large collection of German pottery on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024A number of brands are West German pottery. Among them are Scheurich, Bay, Carstens, Otto, Ceramano and Dumler and Breiden. Basically, any pottery company that operated in western Germany between 1949 and 1990 can be categorized as West German. On 1stDibs, explore an assortment of pottery from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify West German pottery, look on the bottom or interior for markings. Many pieces will have markings with the words "West Germany.” Others may instead or also have markings with the maker's name. By researching the maker's mark, you can determine whether the manufacturer was a West German company. Well-known West German pottery manufacturers include Scheurich, ES Keramik, Ceramano and Ruscha. Some pottery also has an item or piece number on it; this can be used to learn more about your piece's age, style or line name and other characteristics. If you can't find any markings on your piece, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer help you with identifying it. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of West German pottery.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024The markings on West German pottery vary. Nearly all pieces will include the words "West Germany," indicating the place of origin. Some also feature a piece or style number and/or a company logo or marking. You can compare the markings on your pottery to images posted on trusted online resources to identify pieces. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of West German pottery.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024What the numbers mean on West German pottery varies. In some cases, the numbers represent the date of production. More often, the numbers represent the piece number — indicating what order it was produced in — or the style of the pottery. On 1stDibs, explore a range of West German pottery.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Yes, some West German pottery is worth something. Fat Lava-style pieces are particularly popular among some collectors, and there is often a demand for pottery produced by specific West German makers, such as Scheurich, ES Keramik, Ceramano and Ruscha. Generally, the age, style, type and condition will influence how much a particular piece may be worth. To get an estimated value for a particular item, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of West German pottery.
