ABOUT PRODUCTID 9274
This large ceramic planter, produced by Scheurich in Germany during the 1960s, stands out with its bold geometric decoration. The matte white base serves as a backdrop for expressive black lines, applied by hand to form rhythmic vertical and horizontal grids. This motif, deeply rooted in mid-century modern aesthetics, enhances the vessel's raw simplicity: a cylindrical form with subtly tapering sides and a flat, stable base. The surface is tactile and slightly rough, with the irregular black glaze lending an artisanal, one-of-a-kind quality. The original Scheurich sticker confirms its authenticity and the legacy of a manufacturer that set trends in German ceramics of the era. The planter is preserved in very good condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear. The form of this planter echoes the voice of postwar Europe, when simplicity and functionality met new design energy. Its geometric ornament, reminiscent of modernist explorations, tells the story of a time when ceramics were meant to be more than a backdrop—serving as a striking accent in everyday life. The stark white and black grid encapsulates the calm and rhythm of an era that valued honesty of material and bold patterns. The planter can be paired with lush houseplants—placed on a low, light wood sideboard or alongside other mid-century vessels. It works well in living rooms styled in the spirit of mid-century modern, among teak furniture, minimalist lamps, and glassware from the period. It is worth combining with neutral textiles or integrating into a collector’s interior, where the geometric motif will underscore the space’s distinctive character.
