This Dumler & Breiden floor vase from the 1960s exemplifies West German ceramic craftsmanship of the mid-century modern era. The 42 cm tall, 30 cm wide vessel features a harmonious, bulbous form with a single, robustly integrated handle. The base color is a warm, off-white, densely overlaid with a cool, light blue speckled pattern that becomes especially prominent on the upper and middle sections. The matte finish emphasizes the subtle color gradients and gives the surface a subdued, understated look. The wide, rounded body tapers to a narrower neck with a slightly flared rim, reflecting the thoughtful proportions typical of the 1960s. The handle, substantial and smoothly connected, stands out as a strong structural accent. The vase is signed, authentic, and shows no visible damage or signs of heavy use—preserved in very good condition, characteristic of collectible pieces of this class. The form of this vase carries the voice of the 1960s, when the pursuit of harmony between function and artistic expression became a signature of West German pottery. The soft transitions of blue speckles on matte white evoke the effect of watercolor washes, as if the vessel absorbed light and diffused it in a pastel haze. The fluid silhouette and prominent handle tell the story of an era when even utilitarian objects aspired to become small sculptures—both functional and contemplative. This vase can be displayed solo on the living room floor, where its scale and gentle palette create a subtle focal point. It would pair well with light wood furniture, natural textured textiles, or alongside other ceramics from the mid-century modern period. It could be combined with tall, single branches or a minimalist arrangement of dried grasses to accentuate its sculptural
