West German pottery featured on ITVs Dickinson’s Real Deal on Thursday 6th October 2011. On this show members of the public bring in items they want to sell. They are offered money from ‘expert dealers’ and they can choose whether to accept the expert dealers offer or take a chance and gamble by taking the items to auction.

On this episode Carla brings in three West German pottery items from her seventy strong collection. The “independent valuation” on the show suggests a value of £80-100. The dealer offers £100 for the three vases which Carla (I think wisely) accepts.

All the vases are made by Scheurich, the vase on the far right of the bottom picture is a Foligna decor vase. A few vases with similar forms and decor to those featured on the show are shown below.
