A tall flared rim relief decor vase in glossy red on black from Bay Keramik.

BAY KERAMIK was founded in 1934 by Eduard Bay in Ransbach-Baumbach, a small town in the heart of the Kannenbäckerland in western Germany. (The Kannenbäckerland, or "potters' land"—a historic center of ceramics industry—is the site of the largest clay deposit in Europe.) Its output was primarily utilitarian prior to the early 1950s when more and more decorative items were introduced. Production and sales grew rapidly throughout the decade, and, by the early 1960s, BAY was a leading manufacturer of art ceramics. Bodo Mans, probably the best-known designer of the period, was employed by the company from 1959 through 1975. His work is considered highly collectible today. The company's art pottery production continued into the 1980s and included some striking work that often showcased utterly fantastic specialty glazes. On the other hand, a huge amount of kitsch was produced for the tourist trade.

Bay used white clay exclusively; marks are almost always molded to the base. The name BAY often appears. The country of origin is typically noted as "WEST-GERMANY" or "W-GERMANY."  Early Bay forms from the 30s, 40s and early 50s are inspired by the Jugend/Art Nouveau style with molded patterns of natural forms like leaves and flowers. The colors are discreet in gray, brown, and green palettes. Some decors have small spots in orange containing uranium.  In the mid-50s painted geometric patterns became popular. One example is the decor "Florenz" from 1955. In the late 50s and early 60s, the color schemes in the geometric patterns became more advanced and more colorful.

At the end of the 60s and into the early 70s Bay introduced many forms with molded patterns. In combination with strong colors, many of these forms are very decorative and represent the best ceramics that Bay produced. Examples of these are a series designed by Bodo Mans named Ravenna (1961), Istanbul (1961), Iberia (1962), and Bristol (1962). Another series with molded geometric patterns are the forms 70 and 71 from the period 1969 - 1972. These vases are often wrongly attributed to Bodo Mans however the designer is still unknown.

From the end of the 60s and the early 70s is a series of figurines. Four figurines are known:  A woman with a fruit basket, a horse, an elephant, and a bull. The designer is not known. These figurines are not marked.  During the 70s Bay continued to produce ceramics with molded patterns, often with naturally inspired forms like leaves. Extreme fat lava glazes are not so common but can be a part of the decoration in combination with molded patterns.

Bay continued to produce art ceramics through the 80s and at least a few years after the German reunification in 1990. They made some interesting forms but stopped producing ceramics with molded patterns and colorful, vibrant glazes. These late ceramics are less interesting to collectors today.

Great self-tanner -- VERY light color
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First of all, I must confess -- I am a self-tanning junkie. Okay -- I said it. I have used MANY, MANY self-tanning products over the years. This was the first time I had purchased this brand, and I was pleased. Pleased. Not thrilled. Just pleased. The product delivers nice, good quality color. It has a pleasant feeling on the skin. Smells lovely. My ONLY complaint is this: the color was not dark or deep, which is the #1 thing I seek in a self-tanner. I want deep, dark color -- I want to appear...well....TANNED! This product simply did not deliver the dark color I was seeking. I would definitely recommend this self-tanner to anyone looking for a LIGHTLY COLORED tanning effect. This product delivers a lightly peachy-colored tan. It dries VERY quickly and evenly.

The best
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve purchased all the best brands of self tanner at Ulta. This is the only brand I’ve used that actually doesn’t have that smell we all hate. Other brands claim to not smell but they always end up smelling, but not this one. And the tan looks so natural and amazing. Repeat buyer and will be putting this on auto ship. I would recommend the lotion however, over the spray. The spray didn’t go on as even as I hoped, but I’ll just switch back to the lotion. Just thought I’d try something different this time. The lotion is amazing.

Don’t buy this Product
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was excited to try this product and brand overall. Product arrived within a week. Per instructions, I shook before spraying. I was shocked when it came out in big wet clumps. The color is very dark and dries quickly. I had big blotches all over my under body and quickly used the glove to blend into my skin. It didn’t blend well so I had blotches everywhere. One week later I wanted to try one more bc I did love the color it left. I was going to do smaller areas so I could blend quickly. I shook the bottle and now the sprayer wouldn’t work. Only small foamy bubbles would come out of the sprayer. I now have a heavy full can that’s worthless. I bought a second product from this company. The face self tanner and it was very dark, almost black. Didn’t blend smoothly or absorb well. Took about 2 days to exfoliate off my skin. Super disappointed. The color it left was beautiful but the consistency of application was messy and blotchy.

This product is unbelievable! There is nothing else like it!!!
I've tried a couple different spray tanners to cut back on tanning beds and be healthy about being bronze. This one goes aboveeeeeeeee and beyond anything I've ever tried. I almost don't want to leave this review so no one buys these and I can keep the secret to myself haha. The mist that comes out of these is like a professional quality tanning spray. It's very fine, almost like a cloud instead of a spray. Which makes it a lotttt easier to get an even coat without any missed spots. The color of this spray is different than anything I've tried too. Most sprays have an orangey brown color but this is a deep greenish brown (green+red=brown) *the red being the pink tones in your skin. I don't mean to say that this comes out greenish, just that it is farrr from the fake orange color I usually see. The other person said they rub theirs in a bit but I found that letting the mist lay where it lands and dry as is gives me a better all over color.

Best tanning spray
This is my favorite tanning spray. I purchase it on auto ship. It’s gives an even realistic tan that is easy to use. The only negative is that some of the spray nozzles clog or are defective but I can usually change them with one the sprays mist.
