This postmodern ceramic vase, produced by Steuler in Germany during the 1980s, is constructed with a triangular base supporting three sharply faceted sides that rise toward a small circular opening at the top. The primary color is a deep, glossy black with a highly reflective, mirror-like surface that emphasizes the vase's sculptural quality. Dynamic pastel blue and pink streaks traverse the black ground in expressive, lightning-like, irregular lines, offering bold visual contrast and typifying an avant-garde, experimental sensibility. Each facet features vertical ridges that underline the architectonic geometry of the object. The ceramic surface is perfectly smooth and lustrous, with no visible signs of wear, chips, or damage. Condition: excellent, nearly original vintage state, with only the lightest, nearly imperceptible traces of use. The shape of this vase speaks in the distinctive language of the 1980s—a time when postmodernism championed playful rebellion and expressive individuality. Its very presence tells the story of an era characterized by contrasts, experiments with form, and a move beyond the restrained aesthetics of previous decades. The glossy ceramic throws back the light of its surroundings, while the pastel streaks appear almost as traces of a graphic performance—turning the vase reveals ever-shifting patterns and colors, each angle delivering a new encounter between form and palette. The Steuler vase from the 1980s can be paired with minimalist, modernist furnishings as a statement accent, or positioned in collector's interiors that embrace bold design and artistic experimentation—such as amongst contemporary graphics or sculptures from the same period. It thrives against plain
