ABOUT PRODUCTID 32037
This original ceramic vase by Scheurich, produced in West Germany during the 1960s, is a quintessential example of mid-century modern style in German functional ceramics. The form is compact and well-balanced: a wide, rounded body, slender neck, and a single small handle at the shoulder create a cohesive shape with modest dimensions (10 cm high, 11 cm wide). The surface features a rich, chestnut brown glaze with a warm, reddish undertone, contrasted by matte, almost black horizontal bands that encircle the body. The finish alternates between glossy, glazed areas and rough, ribbed bands, giving the piece a distinctive tactile texture. The base is marked with model number 493-10, confirming authenticity. The vase is in very good vintage condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs; the glaze shows a subtle, natural patina appropriate for its age, with no signs of restoration. This vase echoes the spirit of 1960s West Germany—a time when everyday objects began to embrace both function and decoration, reflecting a new optimism in postwar design. The matte, dark bands recall the era’s fascination with texture and contrast, hallmarks of mid-century sensibility. In both touch and sight, the vase suggests a search for harmony between simplicity and sensuality—as if inviting a pause to notice the interplay of surfaces, the subtle light on glaze, the warmth of chestnut tones. It can serve as a solo accent on a light wood console, highlighting its form and depth of color. The vase pairs well with other 1960s ceramics, and also with minimalist glass or raw concrete, which enhance its vintage character. In a mid-century modern interior, it could be combined
