Help identify artist

Could anyone help me to identify this pottery mark? Signature?
Thanks in advance.

 

Probably Italian but I don't see an identifiable artist signature there.

 

there is a signature here

 

That says ITALY and the letter and number N2 - that does not identify the artist clearly. Not a clue who N2 is.

 

ok i understand... thank you so much

 

I can't verify that this is correct however there are some online saying this sig and style are Herta Huber-Roethe.

(I think it looks like it says Italy too)

Example

Interesting. Still says Italy. Why would the seller say it's West German?

 

No idea. I find trying to research is easier from my computer than my phone BUT I must have stumbled onto some weird site that shut down my computer so I'm running a full scan (It is taking forever).

 

Good luck!

 

.............I hope u figure it out.......

 

I hate when that happens.

 

Finally scanned and up again. I did find a site with what they are saying are Huber-Roethe and they are similar and signed this way. Don't know if they know what they are talking about or not.

This is an example of the sig many are showing and calling it Huber-Roethe from the "Garda" line. It looks less like "Italy" on many.

The style was made by other German makers, this one by Bay marked Germany in a similar style and they describe it as "Bay pottery from the 1950s. Decor "Garda" like Huber-Roethe 912 Ritz decor".

Hoping someone familiar with this can offer more help.

 

Viewed Google search results, looking for something about the ceramics company. There are many websites displaying or selling items whose design is similar and attributed to the Huber-Roethe company. But no info about the company, until I found this very recent blog post from a museum site. Google has translated the original German into English, so there are a few grammatical errors. The people in the photo are holding a vase from the company. It appears that the vase has similar colors, but is a German scene in this case.

Floor vase from the ceramic workshop Huber-Roethe

Rudolf Schnur presented a clay town view to the Friends of the City Museum

"The historic cityscape of Landshut is the theme and motif of a voluminous floor vase, which the Friends of the Stadtmuseum Landshut eV recently received. City councilor and parliamentary group leader Rudolf Schnur presented the gem from the Huber-Roethe ceramics workshop in Landshut in the Franciscan cloister of the LANDSHUTmuseum: "When I heard about the sale of this vase, I spontaneously bought it to secure it for the museum in the interests of the city of Landshut", reports cord.

"The subject and motif of the vase is the historic cityscape of Landshut. Ländtor and city fortifications and the gables of the old town houses, which form the backdrop for the castle and Martinskirche as the city's landmark, are thickened over an old-white glaze. The contour lines of all buildings were scratched into the clay with a loose stroke. Brown and beige tones as well as the yellow-green of the Hofberg dominate. Only the facades of the old town houses - under the Landshut three helmet coat of arms - set bright, colored accents in turquoise, yellow and red.

"At the beginning of the 1950s, the ceramic workshop Huber-Roethe in Landshut-Achdorf, under the direction of Herta Huber-Roethe, developed a modern ceramic collection that met the taste of the time of the economic miracle with asymmetrically shaped and gently curved vessels in the "kidney style". At times, the business, which was then run by Rainer Huber-Roethe and finally by his wife Gerda Huber-Roethe until 1984, employed up to twenty people.

"The board members of the Circle of Friends, Prof. Dr. Gernot Autenrieth, Prof. Dr. Axel Holstege, Fritz Merk and Anke Humpeneder-Graf as well as the two museum representatives present, the deputy museum director and ceramics expert Thomas Stangier and graduate restorer Anette Klöpfer. In the spirit of the Friends, the vase will be placed in the museum depot and will be cared for and stored there so that it is available for future research and exhibitions."

 

Here is something similar to the original item posted in this thread, on Flickr. I used some of their words to help find the site above.
