ABOUT PRODUCTID 23822
This bisque porcelain vase, produced in the 1970s by the renowned German manufacturer VEB Kunstporzellan Ilmenau, is a testament to modernist design from the Space Age era. The simple, rectangular form with gently rounded edges is crafted from unglazed, snow-white bisque porcelain with a completely matte finish and a cool undertone. The surface is adorned with a rich, high-relief texture reminiscent of fossils, seashells, and ammonites—organic motifs rendered in a geometric rhythm. The tactile surface features pronounced protrusions and indentations, entirely free from additional ornamentation or fittings. The vase is cast as a single piece, with no visible seams or joints. It remains in very good collector's condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs; the porcelain is clean and uniform.This form distinctly echoes the spirit of the 1970s: the vase tells a story of fascination with nature, the cosmos, and microstructure—an era when designers drew inspiration from prehistory and translated it into a vision of the future. The matte surface absorbs and diffuses light across the relief, as if each detail were a small fossilized imprint of time. It evokes a period that dreamed of space travel while reverently uncovering the beauty of ancient organic forms hidden within the earth.The vase can be paired with minimalist ceramics, glass, or metal to highlight its sculptural presence. It will suit mid-century modern settings, especially alongside light wood furnishings or against a subdued, graphic wallpaper. This piece makes a striking accent in Scandinavian-inspired interiors as well as in spaces that embrace the eclectic spirit of 1960s and 1970s collecting. It works as a solo statement piece on a console or sideboard, or combined with other vessels featuring raw or tactile surfaces.
