This mid-century modern ceramic vase from Germany dates to the 1960s, and features a slender, gently tapered cylindrical silhouette with a rounded shoulder and a narrow, flat-lipped mouth. The body is finished in a deep matte black, providing a striking backdrop for an orderly pattern of horizontal stripes. The stripes themselves are metallic golden-bronze, subtly satin and reflective, and are evenly distributed along the vase’s surface, creating a strong geometric rhythm. The piece is meticulously glazed, completely seamless and free of visible construction elements – an indicator of careful craftsmanship. There are no visible chips, cracks, or irregularities to the ceramic. The vase is preserved in very good original condition, with virtually no signs of wear and full period authenticity.The vase expresses the language of geometry and intentional simplicity, hallmarks of European 1960s design. Its matte black grounds the piece in quiet restraint, while the golden bands catch and reflect light, recalling a time of postwar optimism and the belief in elevating everyday life through artful design. The object itself whispers of order and harmony, suggesting that in a world focused on progress, small ornate gestures could seamlessly blend with functional form.It may be paired with low, wooden sideboards with straight lines or minimalist glass tables to emphasize the contrast between matte and gleam. The vase works well in interiors inspired by mid-century modernism as well as in more eclectic, collector-oriented spaces – either alone or among other geometric ceramics. Displayed empty, it commands attention as a sculptural object on a living room console; with a single branch, it underlines appreciation for fine materials and conscious detail.
