pottery/ceramic/copper items

This is a nice teapot , measures 10 nch wide 6inch high and 4inch depth , small mark on lid , think its from 1950s

next is a blue bowl in good condition , 3 1/2 inch high 4inch at widest, no idea of age

next is an ashtray again in good condition but no idea of age, 3/4 inch high 4width x 4 depth

copper pot in another thread.

 

I don't remember the idea of companies making lines of merchandise specifically marketed as 'collectable' before the 1970s. Checking, I see that's when Bradford got going:

The teapot is much later. 1980's - 90's most likely. That's about the time that there was a big teapot craze. Unusual designs (lots of lid decoration, such as yours) were the craze.

The little blue pot looks earlier. Early 1900s, before WWII.

The ashtray looks 1950's - 70's

Only my opinion. No research done.

 

I love that little blue pot.

 

Here's a page of the teapots:

I read somewhere that they were designed by Annie Rowe and made in the Philippines.

I think I found something like your crocus vase:

Most sources seem to list the RZB mark as Bavarian although I haven't been able to figure out exactly which company. It's definitely post WWII - I would guess sometime in the 1960's. The decoration is commonly referred to as "Fragonard".
