anton lang (1875-1938) lived and worked in oberammergau, he was famous as a potter and even more famous as the actor who played christ in the oberammergau passion play in 1900, 1910 and 1922.
lang visited the USA 1923-4 and and it is told that he threw pots at rookwood pottery. lang appeared on the cover of the times magazine in december 1923
but not every vase marked anton lang was thrown by himself.
after anton lang died his son karl lang (1903 – 1990) carried forward with the anton lang workshop.
in 1975 after karl lang retired his daughter barbara lampe took over the workshop together with her husband ulli lampe.
she renamed it in 1995 to barbara lampe töpferei.
here a film about the workshop....
the film is not in english but worth looking...

So interesting. So who made this treasure?
i don't know exactly should be by karl or his daughter
Often I wish artist would be more clear on who did what...legible too.
that's true... but it wouldn't be that easy to make a bargain any more
love the colors .......
Hmmmm...valid point. Beautiful piece. I bet it's one of those that keeps drawing you in, seeing something different all the time
Lovely vase and great info with it.
Thanks GTMOOM
