This Scheurich vase from the 1960s/70s exemplifies West German mid-century modern ceramics, bearing the signature number 281-19. Its robust, rectangular body is topped with a short, cylindrical neck and a subtly flared rim, emphasizing a geometric, disciplined silhouette. The upper section glows in deep, glossy cobalt blue, gradually blending into a matte, cream-beige area decorated with irregular, horizontal brown stripes. These bands have a slightly granular texture, providing tactile depth and visual intrigue. The combination of colors and textures, so characteristic of Scheurich, reflects the era's penchant for bold experimentation in form and glaze. The vase stands 19 cm tall with a top diameter of 6 cm. Condition is very good, with no visible chips or losses.The form and finish of this vase echo the spirit of an era when color and shape became everyday manifestos. The cobalt blue neck draws the eye like a purposeful accent against the neutral palette of a modernist interior, while the dynamic brown bands rhythmically narrate the adventurous, experimental tone of the 1960s. The glazing, shifting from gloss to matte, conjures the atmosphere of ceramic studios where each piece was the outcome of creative dialogue with its material. Scheurich’s creation, restrained in ornament but expressive in surface, tells a story of discovering unexpected color harmonies and the pleasure of touch beyond mere utility.This piece can be displayed on a wooden console, where its blue accent will deepen in natural light, or on a shelf among books and mid-century modern graphics. It may be combined with simple wooden furniture or smooth ceramics to emphasize the glaze’s texture and hues. The vase works equally well in
