The Profile

Manufacturer: Bay Keramik (founded by Eduard Bay in Ransbach-Baumbach, West Germany).
Model Number: 983-14 (983 represents the rectangular block shape; 14 indicates its height of 14 cm / 5.5 inches).
Time Frame: Manufactured circa 1969 to 1972, indicated by the specific font style of the molded base mark and the era\'s glaze trends.

The Design Style

Movement: A striking hybrid of 1970s Op-Art / Pop-Art Modernism and the West German \"Fat Lava\" era.
Aesthetic: Features an architectural, three-dimensional honeycomb relief face finished in heavily pooled turquoise and dark indigo blue reactive glazes. This creates a stark, avant-garde contrast against the smooth, ultra-glossy vibrant red glazed sides and rims.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The gloss remains bright, the unglazed base ring is clean, and there are absolutely no chips, cracks, or repairs. Natural glaze crazing is present in the turquoise sections, which is completely expected and standard for authentic mid-century pottery.
