ABOUT PRODUCTID 42449
This tall West Germany ceramic vase from the 1970s features a cylindrical silhouette and a single rounded handle near the neck. The central decorative band, finished in glossy olive green glaze, contrasts with the matte, subtly crackled off-white upper and lower sections. Three prominent horizontal relief bands, adorned with a repeating pointed-arch motif and separated by grid-like textures, impart a strong architectural rhythm. The handle integrates smoothly into the neck, echoing the matte ceramic finish. The interplay between matte and glossy surfaces highlights the complexity of the material, while the proportions—46 cm in height and 20 cm in diameter—give the vase a distinct presence without overwhelming the space. Made of glazed ceramic, the texture ranges from smooth to slightly rough in unglazed areas. The condition is good, with only minor scratches and minimal signs of use, and no visible cracks or chips.This vase embodies the voice of 1970s German modernism: the relief’s rhythm evokes architectural repetition, while the olive green and soft white create a tranquil dialogue of light and shadow. The pointed-arch motifs, balancing between Gothic and Art Deco, transport the imagination to an era when West Germany was breaking postwar conventions, embracing bold geometric ornamentation and experimental textures. Every detail tells a story of seeking harmony between utility and decoration, and the interplay of glossy and matte surfaces transforms an everyday object into a stage for light’s subtle play.The vase may serve as a focal point on a living room sideboard, where its relief band draws the eye. It can be paired with simple oak or walnut furniture and neutral textiles to accentuate interiors in the spirit of mid-century
