Product description
Rare, handcrafted studio ceramic object from the traditional "Die Werkstatt Altenkunstadt" (Altenkunstadt Workshop), designed by Peter Guggenbühler.
An exceptional example of German studio ceramics from the 1970s – organically shaped, with a characteristic glaze in shades of brown, cream, and blue that blend into one another like the landscape and the sky.
✨ Dimensions: approx. 14 cm high, 11 cm wide, 8 cm deep
📦 Weight: approx. 500 g
🖼️ Condition: very good, with typical glaze craquelé structure, no cracks or chips
This vase combines sculptural power and meditative tranquility.
It appears like a hand-formed stone, smoothed by water – every light refracts differently on its surface.
Pieces like these emerged in the 1970s, when artists and designers blurred the boundaries between everyday objects and art objects. Guggenbühler was among those ceramists who incorporated natural forms and Japanese Zen aesthetics into European studio ceramics.

🪶 This object speaks of a time when handcrafting was still a silent dialogue between earth and man – each piece is unique, born of fire, form, and feeling.
