This decorative ceramic platter, produced in Germany in the 1960s, is an example of mid-century modern design in its German manifestation: an irregular, organically shaped piece with a distinctly asymmetrical, oval outline and softly rounded edges. The surface features a glossy, mirror-like glaze in deep chocolate brown, dynamically intersected by creamy yellow diagonal stripes. Subtle accents of pastel pink and light blue appear within these yellow motifs, creating a multicolored effect. The glaze is applied expressively, with areas of bubbly, foamy texture adding depth and lightness to the overall form. The platter is signed, confirming its authenticity and German origin. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, showing only minor scratches and gentle patina, with no chips or cracks. This ceramic piece echoes the voice of the 1960s—a period when modernist design sought freedom and expressiveness in everyday objects. The platter seems to tell a story of bold contrasts: its brown sheen evokes the ambiance of mid-century interiors, while the irregular geometry and pronounced, multicolored decoration carry the spirit of the avant-garde. The glaze, reflecting light, accentuates the organic shape, reminiscent of the experimental approach of ceramic studios of the era, where every gesture mattered. It can be displayed on a low wooden sideboard or glass coffee table, paired with other vintage vessels or a simple metal sculpture to emphasize its modernist character. The platter works well in collector's, eclectic interiors with mid-century modern accents, allowing its colors and textures to stand out. It may be combined with textiles in neutral
