This Ditmar Urbach ceramic vase from the 1960s exemplifies Central European mid-century modern, where form and color blend into a harmonious whole. The silhouette is slightly asymmetrical, with softly rounded edges and a gentle taper towards the top. The olive green, high-gloss glazed surface transitions smoothly into two recessed, amber-brown oval panels. These raised elements, decorated with a regular dot pattern, introduce both tactile and visual interest. The piece is stamped with the original maker's mark on the base. The vase is preserved in excellent condition, with an even glaze and no chips or visible signs of use.Its form echoes the voice of the 1960s, when Central European designers sought a balance between modernity and inspiration drawn from nature. The olive green and amber panels recall the slow changes of light and shadow across ceramic surfaces, while the tactile dotted pattern offers a subtle sensory play. Such details reflect an era that saw sculptural potential in everyday objects—the vase seems to tell a story of color courage and a fondness for texture.The vase can be displayed on its own atop a sideboard or shelf in the living room, where its colors are highlighted against light, neutral walls. It works well in mid-century modern arrangements or in eclectic collector's interiors, especially alongside other period ceramics or warm-toned glassware. It may be paired with hardback books or minimalist art prints to emphasize its geometric and organic form line.
