This is a ceramic vase from the German manufacturer Zeller Keramik, designed by G. Schmider in the 1950s. The piece is a clear representation of Mid-Century design principles, combining a functional form with the bold, primary color palette characteristic of the Bauhaus movement. Crafted from glazed ceramic in Germany, the vase features a distinctive stacked, geometric silhouette with a bulbous central body, a stable foot, and a defined neck. Its surface is decorated with horizontal bands of vibrant, high-gloss color, including cobalt blue, bright yellow, rich red, and a contrasting turquoise. The form number 4652/2 is visible on the base, identifying this specific design within the Zeller Keramik production line. The vase is presented in a very good vintage condition, consistent with its age. The ceramic body is structurally sound, and the glossy glaze remains bright and largely intact, showing minimal signs of wear. The overall presentation is clean and well-preserved. With its compact size and striking coloration, this vase serves as a compelling decorative object. It is well-suited for display on a teak sideboard, a bookshelf, or as part of a curated collection of post-war European pottery, adding a graphic and colorful accent to a Mid-Century Modern or eclectic interior.
