West Germany vases, made in Berlin 1960s
Goebel Thumper Disney figurine, made in West Germany 1960s
Here are some of the retro pieces I bought in Berlin. The West Germany studio pottery, both vases – are now very collectible [check out www.fat-lava.com] and it was nice to be able to buy these pieces in their country of origin.
Similarly, I found that anything by Goebel is also very collectible. I do love Thumper figurines [he crops up in a couple of my past posts as a styling device] and was thrilled to find this red one; I only found two West Germany vases and needed another red pottery piece for their display.
Retro shopping in Berlin is by way of a couple of ‘Antik’ shops, and flea markets- in public parks on the weekends. As we were staying in Mitte, we took in the Arkonaplatz Flea Market – which was so huge we visited twice on successive Sundays to see it all. I highly recommend it. I spent a nice morning sorting through hundreds of boxes for treasures. And treasures I found!

Did you have to buy an extra suitcase or did you go with a very empty one? Love the lava pottery, so aptly named.
hi jen- we sent alot of things back…20kg weight limit on suitcases doesn’t allow for much pottery!
