This large ceramic vase by Bay Keramik exemplifies the bold aesthetic of 1970s West German pottery. The piece is defined by its striking combination of deep blue and vibrant orange glazes, applied over a highly textured, moulded surface featuring repeating floral and geometric motifs.
Crafted from ceramic, the vase showcases a complex relief pattern that highlights the interplay between the glossy blue and the contrasting orange accents. The interior is finished with a dark glaze, while the base bears the maker's mark "Bay W. Germany" along with the model number "76 40". The robust cylindrical form tapers slightly towards the neck, creating a balanced and substantial silhouette characteristic of the era's design language.
The vase remains in great condition, with its original glazes retaining their depth and lustre. The structural integrity is fully preserved, reflecting careful ownership over the decades.
This piece serves as a compelling focal point in both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors. Its vivid colour palette and tactile surface make it an excellent standalone decorative object or a striking vessel for dried botanical arrangements.
