I recently came across this item, looks like a small vase or beaker with an interesting design. From the maker's mark I've determined it is from William Goebel in Bavaria, Germany. I'm guessing it's around 1920-1930, but it is just that, a guess.
Does anybody know more about it? Date, name, use, value, etc?
Thanks!

Art Deco Style vase/planter from early 1930's.
Here is your maker's mark information:

I've e-mailed a friend who should know as i found nothing like it on the net.
-
Classic Art Deco. I found nothing either. My gut feeling is that it is a rare piece and will be worth at least 200 - 300.00. Maybe a lot more. Do not sell it until you know for sure.
-
This is from the time of "head vase" popularity so just in that it has value. Add the name, style, etc...I am betting there is someone out there willing to pay $250 to $350+ for it!
-
Nice glaze too!
-
Very nice piece. I know that the Goebels are collectible, but they lost their artistic approach a lot even by the fifties if this is any indication of pre-war.

Thank you for all your insight. I've not seen another one like this. If I find out more, I'll post it here too. Thanks!

Interesting web site. It will give you some idea. It's from the UK.

How big is this item,, from what I read the double crown mark wasn`t used till 1934/35 !!
-
I don't have it with me right now, but it's about 4" tall; about 2" diameter. Looking at the photo I posted, it does make the head look bigger than it really is. It's a cup or beaker, more than I'd say it was a vase. Thanks!

I found "The Goebel Collector's Guide" in Google Books and apparently the RX series is for "Raucherartikel Aschenbecher", i.e. Smoker's Items / Ashtrays, etc.
-
My first thought was an egg cup but if the RX is for Smoker's Items maybe a cigarette holder.
-
I thought coffee mug !! A smoke and a cup of joe !!

It's obviously hard to completely tell from a B&W photo, but the colouring/shading does look slightly different. Other than that, it's an exact match. Any idea of value?

Not seen another one like it on the net. I think people are more interested in the figures but there are plenty of real Goebel enthusiasts out there.
My auction estimate would be £100-150 but wouldn't be surprised to see it do more, although not " OH MY GOD ! " more.
