Mysterious pottery markings

[Dashdown]

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have to be honest, this isn't generally a hobby of mine but I have been left several pieces of pottery by a relative and I have no idea what they are so I'm looking for some help please? Any ideas as to what this is (may very well be junk and is certainly very damaged) would be very much appreciated. Thanks

However, Greiner operated from another town, also called Bodenbach, in Austria.
