Brutalist Design Studio Ceramic Vase Spiral 70's Vintage Retro West German Pottery.
German Pottery & Brutalist Design
Mid-century brutalist design emerged in the mid-20th century as a reaction to the clean lines and simplicity of modernism. Brutalism sought to embrace raw, unfinished materials and showcase their true form, often incorporating angular shapes and a sense of heaviness in design. While the term "brutalist" originally referred to architecture, it gradually expanded into other areas, including furniture, ceramics, and decorative objects.
German pottery in the 1970s was marked by a diverse range of styles and techniques. The era witnessed a resurgence of interest in traditional craftsmanship, with many potters exploring innovative and experimental approaches to ceramic art. In particular, West Germany experienced a ceramic renaissance during the 1960s and 1970s, with numerous renowned potters and workshops pushing the boundaries of form, texture, and glaze.
This ceramic vase was part of a limited studio series, created by German potter during the seventies. It is a rare and unique find that makes a perfect example of the experimental German Pottery scene of the time.
