Vintage West German Pottery Gnome Pitcher Jug 9 Inch Collectible Mid Century

Vintage West German Pottery Gnome Pitcher / Jug • Origin: Marked “Western Germany” — dates it 1950–1990 (post-WWII until German reunification). • Style: Hand-painted ceramic, bright mid-century colors. • Type: Kneeling gnome holding a spout (whimsical novelty pitcher). • Material: Glazed ceramic with visible age crazing, common for mid-century German pottery. • Height: 9 inches • Likely Maker: Several West German ceramic factories made figural pitchers like this—Goebel, Schaffenacker, Scheurich, and Eichwald—but your piece resembles mid-century Goebel or Scheurich novelty figural pitchers. The lack of a clear impressed mold number makes exact attribution tough, but collectors will still value it as West Germany Pottery / Gnome Pitcher.
