This Strehla ceramic vase from the 1970s exemplifies German applied art, where organic form meets bold color. Measuring 18.5 cm in height and 11.5 cm in width, it features three pronounced horizontal ridges that emphasize its sculptural silhouette—an iconic motif of the era. The main body is finished in a vibrant, grassy green glossy glaze, which blends smoothly into creamy beige at the top and base, creating a soft gradient. The rim and bottom are matte brown, providing a contrasting accent, while the interior is finished in deep brown glaze for a cohesive look. The overall effect reflects the 1970s West German ceramic aesthetic: simple forms enhanced by expressive, earthy glazes. The vase is in very good condition, with a minor factory flaw visible on the rim. This vase carries the voice of an era when everyday objects became small works of art. Its gently undulating ridges evoke the rhythm of 1970s modernist interiors, where greens and earth-toned glazes fostered an atmosphere of calm and naturalness. The lustrous surface catches the light, bringing the piece to life, while the subtle factory imperfection is a quiet mark of the maker—a testament to the hand-crafted process. The Strehla vase can be displayed on an oak console or a minimalist shelf alongside books and neutral ceramics to highlight its form and color. It would work well in mid-century modern inspired interiors or more eclectic, collector-focused spaces. It can be paired with other 1970s vases or a single branch to accentuate its glaze and organic lines. Surrounded by warm wood, glass, or stone, it gains additional visual depth.
