The Silberdistel Zierkeramik vase from the 1960s is a small, rounded vessel measuring 12 cm in width and 11 cm in height, crafted from fine stoneware. Its softly curving form gently narrows towards the base and the mouth, where a slightly raised lip defines the edge. The exterior features a cool, semi-matte glaze in soft greyish cream, decorated with hand-painted, abstract botanical motifs in warm brown, brick red, and muted navy – each accent organic in shape and applied with tangible brush texture. Inside, the vase is finished with a glossy, deep cobalt blue glaze, creating a striking contrast to the subdued exterior. The proportions are harmonious, and the overall silhouette is well balanced; the base bears the producer’s insignia and model number, confirming its authenticity as a piece of modernist West German ceramics. The condition is excellent – there are no visible chips, cracks, or restoration traces, and the surface, including all painted details, remains intact and clear. This vase embodies the mood of the 1960s, when the calm order of modern design met a bolder approach to colour and texture. Silberdistel Zierkeramik ceramics seem to echo the era’s artistic motto: “detail is paramount, for it transforms the everyday.” The soft, matte surface and the organic, restrained decoration suggest that even the most utilitarian items can hold an undercurrent of artistry
