This mid-sized ceramic vase, produced by Strehla Keramik in Germany during the 1960s, encapsulates the refined lines of the New Look style. The vase features a gently flared neck and a single curved handle, seamlessly integrated at the shoulder, giving it a harmonious, balanced profile. Its matte glaze forms a delicate gradient: off-white transitions into cool grey at the base, a broad painterly band of powdery pink crosses the midsection, and a soft yellowish aura lends further subtlety, with hints of violet and beige. The piece maintains a smooth, even texture without additional ornamentation. The maker’s mark confirms its provenance, and careful construction is evident in the precise proportions and seamless junctions, particularly where the handle meets the body. The vase is in very good condition, displaying minimal, barely visible signs of age and use.
Through its soft color transitions and poised form, this vase echoes the sensibility of 1960s interiors: when pastel palettes and modern simplicity ushered in a sense of optimism and tranquility. Its form and technique quietly narrate the story of a decade seeking balance between artisanal craft and contemporary needs—each brushstroke and gentle shift in hue conveying moments when design served to calm rather than compete.
Placed as a centerpiece on a sideboard or low table, this piece brings forward the softness of pastel light and highlights the quiet geometry of modern interiors. It can be combined with mid-century modern furnishings or integrated into eclectic, collected spaces where vintage pieces add subtle depth. Pairing it with neutral and natural materials like wood, glass, or raw textile allows its gradient tones to resonate; understated accessories in ivory, ash grey, or muted yellow would complement its palette. The vase may also be grouped with other simple-form ceramics or
