ABOUT PRODUCTID 35020
This bisque porcelain vase by Seltmann Weiden, produced in Germany in the 1960s, is a distinguished example of mid-century modern design where pure white porcelain meets bold geometric relief inspired by Op-Art. The matte, unglazed exterior imparts a refined subtlety, while the bulbous body is entirely adorned with repeating concentric circles and wave-like motifs, creating a dynamic, optical interplay of light and shadow. The smooth, cylindrical neck offers a balanced contrast to the richly textured body, and the proportions—21 cm in height and 9 cm in both width and depth—emphasize its collectible, sculptural character. The interior is glazed, providing a delicate sheen and functional waterproofing. The vase is signed on the base, confirming its authenticity and origin from the Seltmann Weiden manufactory. The piece is preserved in excellent, original condition, with no traces of use, damage, or restoration. The white porcelain of this vase seems to recount an era when geometric discipline met the artistic audacity of the 1960s. The relief patterns, inspired by optical art and the Op-Art movement, evoke a spirit of experimentation and playful illusion that defined postwar German modernism. The matte surface softens the light, while the repetition of motifs appears to pulse quietly, as if the vase resonates with the rhythm of the 1960s—a time that boldly embraced new forms of expression without losing its sense of proportion. This vase can be paired with simple, modern wooden or metal furniture to highlight its graphic quality, or placed against a boldly colored wall to accentuate its relief decoration. It works equally well in mid-century modern collector’s interiors and eclectic arrangements with a Pop-Art twist. It is worth combining with other white or black-and-white accessories, or with a single branch or minimalist floral composition, to emphasize its sculptural presence. The price listed refers
