ABOUT PRODUCTID 14737
This large ceramic vase, produced in Germany by VEB Keramik Werke Haldensleben in the 1960s, exemplifies a fusion of rustic materiality with mid-century simplicity. Crafted from unglazed, matte clay in nuanced sandy beige and brown tones, the vase presents a warm, natural palette. Its elongated, slightly tapering form creates a sense of balance and proportion, noticeable through the absence of handles or ornamentation. The signature feature is a pronounced, tactile surface reminiscent of lava or weathered sandstone, covering the midsection and base; the collar near the rim is finer and subtly contrasts the rest of the piece. The base bears the model’s marking '12', confirming its authenticity. The vase remains in excellent condition, with minimal signs of wear and no restoration or visible damage to the ceramic structure. The object seems to gently narrate a chapter from 1960s Central Europe, when design valued utility yet drew inspiration from the organic world. Its tactile façade evokes images of natural stone, flowing water, or vessels shaped by hand and earth. The raw ceramic becomes a canvas for time, bearing the marks of firing and cooling, as if each groove and granulation preserves a fragment of the atelier’s quiet labor. Between sunlit beige and soft brown, the vase responds to light, shifting subtly with the changing ambiance of the room. For interior arrangement, the vase can be paired with minimalist, mid-century consoles in pale wood or with rough, stone surfaces and natural linen fabrics. It would stand out in a rustic-modern context as a solo piece – placed on the floor or a low sideboard, bearing a single branch or dried grasses and introducing a grounded, organic tone. It could be combined with items of
