This ceramic vase, designed by Kurt Tschörner for Otto Keramik in the 1960s, exemplifies the artistry of West German mid-century pottery. The vessel features a flattened, bulbous body with a bold, round single handle set against a slender, cylindrical neck that gently flares at the rim. Its dominant hue is a deep, matte red, softened by earthy brown-black gradients at the neck and edge, heightened by a subtle blue-lilac accent inside the mouth. A discreet, horizontal golden or yellow streak adorns the body, providing a focal point, while the overall texture is characteristically raw, matte, and granular, resonating with the signature aesthetic of the era. The seamless integration of the handle and the careful shaping of the neck reflect refined craftsmanship. Bearing the maker’s mark, the vase is preserved in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear or restoration. The vase echoes the 1960s moment when ceramics became an expressive form of everyday art. The muted red shade shifts gently at the neck, as if narrating the passage of time and the ephemeral side of daily life, alluding to modernist confidence. The eccentric placement of the handle seems like a whimsical gesture—an artist's wink toward future generations—while the play of glazes reveals the plastic freedom so typical of the decade. The piece is a silent witness to the confluence of tradition and innovation, encapsulating West German precision and creative flair. This vase can be placed on a dark wood coffee table, a marble shelf, or in a minimalist display alongside other ceramics from the era. It would settle beautifully into mid-century modern interiors, as well as eclectic collector’s spaces, where its matte
