Originally, table ceramics and cooking pots were produced in unglazed terracotta. In 1937 new technology was introduced with molds, which meant faster production and more consistent quality. After a break in the production at the end of World War II, production was resumed. More decorative ceramics began to be produced in the early 50's. Manufacturing and sales increased rapidly and in the early 60's Bay was one of the leading manufacturers of art ceramics. According to some sources, Bay stopped manufacture art ceramics in 1971 to focus entirely on the production of a patented cooking pan with lid under the name "Römertopf". However, there are evidence that the production of art ceramics continued into the early 90's. "
