West German mid-century modern brown, orange and tan Scheurich vase, c1960
This wonderful multi-color vase has fabulous glaze. The colors and drips are unusually beautiful. While some mid-century modern pottery needs an acquired taste, this vase is easy to love and easy to fit into many kinds of décor. It looks spectacular with or without flowers, and it can be grouped with other vases, or used alone.
Post WWII German pottery went virtually unnoticed in the U.S. for decades. When German makers started producing art pottery after the war, the attachment to old traditions had been severed. Free to start from scratch, many makers were ready to experiment with totally new approaches in shapes and glazes. Because it was not done for export, much of it is unmarked or marked only with a style number. Today some refer to their designs as “retro,” but they were very avant-garde at the time. And this type of pottery was made only for a short period… most dated between 1955 and 1975.
Condition: Mint. (Slight manufacturing imperfections are considered normal and aren’t mentioned unless they are significant.)
Measurements: The vase is 8 inches high and 4 inches in diameter.
