This Dümler & Breiden vase from the 1960s features a cylindrical silhouette, clearly divided into two distinct material zones. The lower section is crafted from unglazed, matte brown ceramic with a rough, grainy texture, while the upper part is finished in a deep, glossy cobalt blue glaze with a cool tone. Vertical, slightly irregular raised stripes in vivid red with black accents run down the glazed area, appearing fused into the surface like streams of lava. The vase’s proportions are balanced, with its height approximately twice its diameter. The transition between the matte clay and glossy glaze is sharp and deliberate, emphasizing the interplay of textures and hues. The piece is in very good condition, with no visible damage, chips, or restoration marks.The form of this vase echoes the voice of the 1960s, when German studio pottery explored bold contrasts and geometric clarity. It intertwines influences of Brutalism and vibrant color, as if narrating a story about the desire to merge earthy rawness with the energy of modernist experimentation. The rough lower half evokes the strength of material, while the saturated, lustrous upper section speaks of the daring and innovation of its era.The vase may be placed on a teak veneer sideboard or in a minimalist setting, where its play of textures and colors can be fully appreciated. It works well as a standalone accent against a light wall, but can also be combined with other ceramic vessels in earthy tones or with geometric mid-century modern prints. In a more eclectic interior, it could be paired with textiles featuring pronounced textures or with chrome details to highlight its collectible, artistic nature.
