Ceramic vase with handle 1960s

This ceramic vase was manufactured in Germany in the 1960s and is a characteristic example of West German Mid-Century design. The slender shape with a striking handle and slightly tapering neck follows the functional design language of this era, combining practical aspects with aesthetic clarity. Particularly defining is the high-contrast glaze, where a deep brown base tone is overlaid with a fluidly applied, creamy white layer. The slightly grainy surface, reminiscent of lava, creates a lively texture and gives the object a distinct visual depth. This type of glaze is among the typical features of West German ceramics, where individual effects and artisanal variations play a central role. In its combination of form, material, and surface effect, the vase is suitable both as a functional vessel and as a sculptural standalone object. The base marking "W. Germany" confirms its origin and authenticity. The condition corresponds to the original, although slight scratches and signs of wear typical for its age may be present.
