ABOUT PRODUCTID 17052
This large ceramic vase, produced by KLL Karl Louis Lehmann in Germany in the mid-20th century, exemplifies rustic-modernist design in both form and decoration. The vase is defined by a harmonious, gently tapering cylindrical body that transitions fluidly into softly rounded shoulders and a slender neck finished with a small circular opening (6 cm diameter). The surface is uniformly coated with a glossy, creamy beige glaze enveloping the entire stoneware form. Bands of decoration, hand-painted in a rich cobalt blue, comprise repetitive lines, stylized floral patterns, openwork loops, and abstract latticework. These motifs encircle the neck, upper body, and base in rhythmic garlands, adding structure and visual intrigue. The finish is consistently smooth with subtle colour variations typical of hand-brushed work. The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or visible traces of use.
The vase resonates with memories of the 1950s—a period when German ceramics looked to the future while remaining rooted in local traditions. Its balanced silhouette and recurring motifs evoke the post-war spirit: pragmatic yet attentive to ornamental, hand-rendered details. To the touch, the vessel feels cool and soft; under changing light, its cobalt patterning deepens and converses with the warm glaze, suggesting a quiet exchange between artistry and utility. The decor resists industrial standardization, instead echoing the individuality of its maker's gesture, as if each motif reflects the day it was painted.
The vase may be displayed alone on a sideboard
