Description
Famous for their bold use of colours & interesting & striking glazing techniques these ceramic West German vases / pots are perfect for adding a mid-century modern feel to your home. By the early 1960s the West German factories started to experiment heavily with the decorative effects of glazes. This experimentation was mainly with the use of mostly drip glazes, with one glaze running over another, usually in a contrasting colour or a different thickness, resulting in a lava-like effect. However it was the 1970s that saw a true expression in experimentation & innovation with pots of all types, from floor vases to miniature bowls, made in bizarre shapes & covered in all kinds of dazzling colours & patterns. This particular pot was designed by Heinz Siery for Scheurich, & is perhaps his most famous & iconic form, known for its distinctive angled handle. Although they started late, Scheurich produced more items from the 1960s through to the 1980s than any of the other art pottery companies. As usual, high production numbers meant a wide range of quality & quality control, but some items, especially their glazes were & still are major achievements. Featuring a lovely textured royal blue glaze, this is the perfect piece to add to any collection or a great way for you to start. in general good condition with wear commensurate with age. Measures approximately 23cm tall, 10cm wide to handle & 9cm deep.
