Product description
Looking for an authentic and elegant piece of Mid-Century design? This fantastic, incredibly retro vase by Bay Keramik is a beautiful example of the minimalist modernist style from the late 40s and early 50s.
The vase (model 553-20) has the organic 'Fischmaul' (fish mouth) shape with a slightly asymmetrical opening at the top.
The design stands out due to the refined Sgraffito technique: crisp vertical lines are scratched into the deep, dark brown glaze layer and highlighted with gold paint, creating a beautiful contrast.
The inside and the top rim are finished with a chic gold-colored glaze.
The bottom is marked with the model number 553, the height 20 (cm), and "GERMANY" in the typical retro relief script. A timeless eye-catcher that fits perfectly into a Mid-Century Modern, refined retro, or contemporary interior!
In excellent condition for a vase that is over 75 years old!
