I love the vibrant mottled blue glaze of this pottery vase. The bottom has an impressed shield mark by Waechtersbach pottery company. Thank you art.pottery and vetraio for all your help.

Thank you Moonstone,Sean,Tony, and Inky:)
It has the look of old blue enamelware, love it!
How big is it?
Thank you walksoftly:)
I'm going to guess its about 11 to 12 inches tall. I'll search through the garage tomorrow for a tape measure:)
Thank you Phil for the love
Your very welcome sara:)
Out in left field here, when I was looking for an image of old blue enamelware to compare this to, I stumbled upon these Austrian, Polish milk carriers.

The shape & colours are very similar, it made me wonder if it's design was inspired by these.
Wow thank you walk softly, I appreciate the time you've spent helping out:) I can see exactly what your saying.
You're very welcome sara, I think that I should change my name to Curious George. I tend to go looking online whenever something piques my interest.
I sure didn't expect to find that & didn't know if I should even mention it!

Yup you could call me curious Georgette and would be perfectly happy if I could get paid to research items all day:)
Getting paid for being curious would be nice. :-)
It sure would:)
Thank you all for the love and your help:)
West German. Check "Wächtersbach". 50s to 70s?
Thank you for your help art.pottery!
Have you come across this site yet?

It's a real 'goody' on the German pottery topic.
Thank Vetraio, It was one of the marks that confused me because my shield is reversed.
I did have a similar case, actually. For a long time I thought it was Danish. It still troubles me. The "beehive"!
Might be Augarten too!
By the way I used it once and it leaked over my Swedish table.
I donated it to a charity shop.
Beware!
They can be form numbers and/or size numbers .... usually height in centimetres.
Thanks for the warning vetraio, no watering the beehive:)
very cool, like these vases.
