Product description
A charming mid-century handled vase from Bay Keramik, designed by Bodo Mans in the 1950s. The elegant, slightly tapered shape with its curved handle reflects the organic design language of post-war modernism and lends the piece a timeless appeal.
A particularly characteristic feature is the finely textured crackle glaze in creamy white with decorative black lines and accents in light blue and yellow. The handcrafted surface finish gives the vase a vibrant depth and underscores its artisanal character. The harmonious combination of graphic decoration and sculptural form makes this piece a decorative eye-catcher – both on its own and when filled with flowers.
An authentic collector's item of West German ceramic production, impressively reflecting the design quality and optimism of the 1950s.
Condition:
Good used condition with age-related wear. The glaze displays the fine crackling typical of craquelure ceramics, which is part of the original design. Overall, it is in good condition with no major damage, a sturdy construction, and a beautiful patina.
