A striking mid-century ceramic vase by Scheurich Keramik, designed by Heinz Siery. The slender, amphora-like form with its elongated spout and elegantly curved handle combines sculptural presence with functional design and exemplifies the innovative design language of West German post-war ceramics.
The textured black and white lava glaze with a graphic decorative band in black and colorful accents in red and yellow is particularly characteristic. The high-contrast design lends the vase a distinctive, almost architectural presence and underscores the experimental spirit of German ceramic design in the 1950s and 60s. The combination of organic form and geometric decoration makes the object both decorative and timelessly modern.
An authentic collector's item of West German pottery, it would look stunning on its own or as part of a ceramics collection.
